My job, I think, is the hardest job out of all the judges because I am the only one that is a performer.

I can't wait to be back on the dance floor. I feel really good about it.

Thousands of kids and parents come up to us and say, How do we get better as a singer?

Can you imagine Simon as a kid? His imaginary friends probably never wanted to play with him.

Nothing separates a woman or a family from God's love. Not death, and certainly not divorce.
