When he gives me advice -- well it seems like he used to give advice, but now he doesn't so much give advice as just try to put you down. [He tries to make memorable] 'I can't believe he said that' [type comments], which make people talk the next day.

Simon, a lot of times he signs boy bands and stuff like that. So for him to like someone like me or Taylor [Hicks] it's out of the question. No matter what we do, he's not going to like us. We're just not his thing.

Bo opened up a lot of doors for a lot of people. I think he did the show a lot of good by coming on. He did a heck of a job, and so far with his career he's doing a fine job ... and I thank him very much for it.

When that happens I say just pick one that speaks to you. Pick one that runs through your bones, one that makes you move. That's how I try to pick them.
