The pop market is a very fickle market, and that's why for me to go into the teeny-pop, 'TRL' mode, it's not really for me.
It isn't an easy thing to cater to a public that gets tired of anything in about three days.
Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on.
Vegas is a very fickle market that's about fun. It will change to what people want.
The power of telly is surprising. If you're in a six-part series, you're famous while it's on - people point in the street. Two weeks later it all goes back to normal.

But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.
Television is fickle, and it's fleeting.
There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.
I think particularly in music, popularity os a very fickle thing. You're only as good as your last song.
