Randy Jackson quotes:

I chalk up the fact that I got diabetes to my body saying, 'Dude, you have been doing wrong for way too long!'

Move every day. Like taking a shower and brushing your teeth. Make it a part of your everyday life.

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

Figure out who you are.

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.

I think any show after the Super Bowl will have huge numbers.

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

You never know what the future brings.

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

I always say the greats just get better.

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

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

Every label thinks, when they sign someone, 'This is the perfect pedigree to sign. They're cute, they can sing, they can dance, et cetera.' And they say to the public, 'Here, this is what you're gonna like.' But you might say, 'No, I don't like that!' You'll probably say 'no' many more times than you'll say 'yes!'

I was having serious issues with becoming a diabetic.

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.

I'm still true to my Southern roots.

When you're used to being in the public eye, if you've got a disease, you've got to own up to it. It's about being about it, not running from it.

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

I believe that you should move and eat right.

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

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

Every label thinks, when they sign someone, 'This is the perfect pedigree to sign. They're cute, they can sing, they can dance, et cetera.' And they say to the public, 'Here, this is what you're gonna like.' But you might say, 'No, I don't like that!' You'll probably say 'no' many more times than you'll say 'yes!

I always wanted to be a leading man!

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.

I used to think I was a singer; I had my own delusions about it.

If it's music, I love it.

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

I'm actually a pretty good tennis player!

I've sung background for a couple of bands.

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

The public always picks quality.

There is a lot of territory out there still to explore TV-wise, show-wise, movie-wise, everything.

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.
