i mean, i realized in five minutes-- well, first of all, i didn't think she'd last the day. - harvey: she quit eight times. - simon: lunchtime, she quit. - harvey: yeah. - simon: then three other times that day. but i was thinking, "this is incredible." i mean, i got it. i feel like quitting this show right now, i really do, because i think he's one of the best singers we've heard. it's definitely a no. why'd you leave? oh, i just couldn't bear it at the end, harvey. i mean, it just became-- it wasn't fun. sometimes with success, it becomes a happy place. sometimes success becomes the opposite, it's not a happy place. and once you get to that point, and once you get that sunday evening feeling, or the monday morning feeling, which is "god, i've gotta go to work today," i always promise myself then it's time to stop, and i got that. there was also a $40 million paycheck to ease the pain. the money was good, i'm not gonna lie. - you walked away from a lot of money. - yeah, it was a lot. i'm blown away by "x-factor."
