"I'll make my own decisions now and not have to be dependent on someone else. I've moved on. I'm loving being home and being back in Britain. It feels right for me right now. I have no idea what I'm going to do next. But I don't mind.

"Nobody realises this but I never actually had this great dream to break the States. It was Simon [Cowell] who encouraged me to take the job there. If I never come famous in America then that's fine with me."
