RANDY JACKSON

I feel it's my responsibility to turn people on to great music.

I think there's an abundance of talent in America and there will never be not a lot of talent out there.

If you look at the charts every year, there may be five or ten memorable songs from each year.

I was having serious issues with becoming a diabetic.

If it's music, I love it.

If you can turn your wants into your needs, you can do anything.

It's smarter to look at portions than to count calories.

I'm actually a pretty good tennis player!

You can only be free as an artist if you're free as a person.

You know, I'm kind of a wild crazy workaholic guy.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. I love your voice man, you give me chills... Brilliant.

I don't want to be held down by genres so much.

Accept who you are and try and make the best of that.

I love people who break boundaries and always create something new and fresh.

You never know what the future brings.

If I'm paying money to come to see you, you shouldn't look like everybody else in the crowd.

You can never go more than three or four hours without having something to nibble on or eat - you have to graze all day long.

My ego is really good. I don't need to watch myself on TV, like some others.

I'm a much healthier eater and I've lost quite a bit of weight over the years.

I'm still true to my Southern roots.

I can't touch Simon anymore.

Figure out who you are.

I've sung background for a couple of bands.

You're one of the most natural, great singers I've heard in a long time.

The pop-star thing bores me because it's somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don't say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there - you're not even a human being. You're a puppet.
