Idol has pretty much taken me out of my recording and out of my choreography. I have managed to slip in some choreography jobs. And I’ve been writing songs for other artists.
I dance because I have to, because I’m so passionate about it.
I had my first kiss under a tree near the school. It was with a boy named Michael who rarely spoke, but he would sometimes give me one of the cookies from his lunch. Maybe it was the gifts that made me feel special? I don’t know, but when our lips touched, it felt magical.
I love doing what I do. I’m a born mentor. I’ve launched so many people’s careers. I worked hard.
True genius does not fulfill expectations. True genius shatters them.
I’ve never been drunk in my life. I don’t use recreational drugs.
The cool part of being an entertainer is getting the opportunity to get your feet wet in all areas.
I can’t wait to be back on the dance floor. I feel really good about it.
Simon drives me crazy. We are still arguing.
Simon would not want to audition in front of Simon.
There are many talented people.
There is love there. And then there’s times when I can’t even stomach Simon. You don’t have to sit next to him. That’s all I have to say.
Virgin Records will probably release their own package sometime next year.
The more auditions you go on, the more you will learn not to take it personally.
I’m working toward a CD that will have all of you dancing like crazy.
If they’re singing about heartbreak, they’ve lived it.
When you wish upon a star, you just might become one.
My choreography suits men very well, and the women who can do it are damn hard, strong dancers.
I stand on principle where many people stand on money.
It is my job to make sure that these kids who are talented get every chance they can and not to be passed over; this is life or death for them.
America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.
