But, regarding his departure from American Idol at the end of this season, he said, in an interview on Extra,
Sometimes BEING successful isn’t as fun as the challenge of becoming successful. (paraphrase)
Love it!
I love when someone knows themselves well enough, that they are willing to walk away from “success” to satisfy an itch to create, build, and be challenged!
















Yet, didn’t he just announce that X-factor, the hugely successful show he produces in England will be coming to America? I think he sees the writing on the wall relative to Idol’s continued success and is moving on to the next new entertainment product he can sell to America. I love the quote, I just wonder how much it applies to the guy who said it?
