I truly don't know why the boys are getting all the votes - it could be because they are really amazing and that's all there is to it. They're really really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now and so do the two girls.

I would love to work with Paolo Nutini because he is so soulful and an amazing songwriter.

I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.

I remember going for the first time to a place called The Roxy in New York because you can see people breakdancing there. That's the only reason I went! It's amazing kids are still doing that.

Well just meeting J. K. Rowling was amazing because she created all this world. And all the fans we all get so obsessed with it and then you met the one person who made it all up. It was just so amazing. And I was just so amazed that that she wrote this book and all of the films have happened.

Stories are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.

I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it the sizzling sound is so appetizing the aroma is maddening the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.

It was really cool to work with Dakota Fanning. I've watched her grow up and I've always loved her films loved her. It was amazing working with someone who was American as well because obviously it's going to be a different energy straightaway. We got on really well she's so professional and hardworking.

And my first film was Carnal Knowledge another amazing experience largely because of Mike Nichols who would tell me you can't do anything wrong because you're doing everything right.

The greatest thing about doing this movie was that Chris and I both were involved in folk music in the '60s. I had a group but I don't think it was at the same level as Chris because he's an amazing musician.
