Famous quotes by Nigel Lythgoe:

"Some very, very interesting things happen."

"I take everything like that with a pinch of salt. I've been in the business too long. I truly don't know. I know Prince had a party last night (after the Golden Globes) and I believe Paula might have been there."

"The three of them have wonderful chemistry."

"I've never heard kids blame other kids to their faces on-stage. I've never heard people give the judges a mouthful and say 'I'm quitting the show.' Everybody has more attitude this season. I've never seen people as willing to (be harsh to) others as this crowd. Before, we've said to them 'You want to win. You want to get rid of other people' and they've said 'No, we all love each other.' Well, not this crowd... Thank God there weren't any sharp instruments."

"This is more than a talent show. We're watching dreams come true. Of course, dreams can turn into nightmares, especially when they wind up on national television."

"The success of William Hung was based on his honesty. He really thought he was good and could get better. We try to weed out the people who are just trying to be bad."

"best decision."

"This program or programs like it are great platforms for a career, but they don't guarantee any career. Their music, at the end of the day, and where they take their music and the quality of their songs is going to do that."

"We're casting a show here where we want unique people to take back to Hollywood,"

"I need boy dancers to be strong, masculine!"
