Rules equal boredom, and I don't like that.
Simon Cowell
Anything I shouldn't laugh at makes me laugh. I mean, I'm bad at that, when somebody is singing something terribly and I'm thinking to myself, 'If I laugh now, this is the absolute worst thing I could ever do,' and then I start laughing and I can't stop.
Simon Cowell
The artists who endure are the ones who stay focused even after they have reached the top of their profession.
