Cute Quote by Randy Jackson
“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 could not conceive that [fans] actually wanted me to sign something. It took a long time for me to figure out (a) just say 'Thank you' and sign the thing, and (b) smile in the picture, because if you try to just half-smile you're going to look constipated.” quote by Joss Whedon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b5/joss-whedon-480_fame_i-could-not-conceive-that-fans-actually_859386.jpg)
