I've loved Michael Jackson since the minute I was born. He's probably the most talented person ever. He was able to create such an amazing career and be probably the biggest star we've ever had.
I couldn't believe I was working with Michael Jackson. I thought, growing up as a kid, I thought Michael was a cartoon.
It's an endless proving of myself, that I really am a musician, that I have something to offer in the room. That women can be musicians, women can be rock stars, women can be more than an objectified idea of a pop star.
I love Rihanna.
You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.
I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever... I don't want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me.
A rock star is expected to act like a mess, sound like a mess and look like a mess. People don't expect you to show up on time and be a professional. But when you're a pop star, you have to do all that, look perfect and be a role model.
I think Selena Gomez is extremely talented.
When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star.
I dressed more like a pop star, I suppose, rather than the traditional blazer and tall trousers other players went for.
I admire Rihanna.
I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star.
Michael Jackson has been my idol since before I could even walk.
I would love to do a song with Janet Jackson. Janet was, is, forever will be, the ultimate. She's the ultimate dream girl for every guy - and for every girl.
I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They've shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can't be homophobic in this line of work - I'm a pop star!
I feel like I'm a pop star without being a diva.
Nobody wants to hear that you met Harry Truman... I met Harry Truman... But you know what I mean? Nobody's interested. They want to know you met Rihanna. And that kills me.
Janet Jackson is an icon, I've been honored to meet her a few times, working with her would be amazing.
Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.'
I'm not going to be Rihanna. No one can be Rihanna except for Rihanna.
I'm a Bieber fan, man! That kid is ill!
You better believe I'm not a pop star.
I love Kelly Clarkson.
You can't be an openly gay movie star. You can't be an openly gay pop star, really - minus Ricky Martin.
There's a difference between a pop star and an artist. Pop stars have to be perfect all the time; an artist is allowed, on occasion, to suck. And I put myself in that category because I sometimes suck. I'm not trying to please the masses. It's not going to happen, so I don't try.
