I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.

More quotes by Simon Cowell
I've always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn't like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary.
Simon Cowell
I was slightly cynical of the American mentality before I came over here, but now I preach it. Here, no one's going to tear you down if you buy yourself a $300,000 car. They're likely to say: Well, you probably worked hard for it. Good luck to you.
Simon Cowell
I could just sit back and get someone to spin my achievements, I suppose, but when I see others do it, I always think, 'Why are you telling me how successful you are?' I am always suspicious of those kinds of boasts.
Simon Cowell
When someone asks, 'Does success make you into a monster?' I always say, 'No, it enables you to be a monster.'
Simon Cowell
I suggest we bring some normality back to this country and say if you are carrying a knife, there must be zero tolerance. If it was up to me, everyone caught with a knife would get an automatic ten year sentence.
Simon Cowell
I've always treated the music business as a business.
Simon Cowell
I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.
Simon Cowell
In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
Simon Cowell
I love producing shows. And so when you're on a show where other people are making decisions you don't necessarily agree with it, after a while you start to feel like a passenger.
Simon Cowell
I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
Simon Cowell
Music should always be polarizing. What one person likes, somebody else hates. And I hate that kind of snobbery in pop music. The fact that so many people are getting upset over this one song is hysterical. And if people like it, that's great.
Simon Cowell
Praise a stranger with a few nice words and he becomes a stranger that calls you a friend.
Simon Cowell
I work out three or four times a week, I have Botox, take tons of vitamins and vitamin infusions - if you believe that these things work, you will feel better.
Simon Cowell
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.
Simon Cowell
I should get a dog. I would get a rescue dog. I like mutts I don't care. I would probably get a three-legged dog no one else would want.
Simon Cowell
I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper.
Simon Cowell
We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.
Simon Cowell
Harshness to me is giving somebody false hopes and not following through. That's harsh. Telling some guy or some girl who've got zero talent that they have zero talent actually is a kindness.
Simon Cowell
What I would argue in my defence is that shows like Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor have actually got people more interested in music again and are sending more people into record stores.
Simon Cowell
Anyone who goes on 'The X Factor' to make big money will be in for a big shock.
