Quote

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.

You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.
Simon Cowell
Image
I can't think of one person who is on TV who isn't vain. It's the nature of the beast. If you are on TV then you have a vanity, for sure. Just admit it! Why not?
Simon Cowell
Image
I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.

My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.
Simon Cowell
Image
I look at him [son Eric] and I think of my dad all the time.... I was born to be a dad.

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.

I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.
Simon Cowell
Image
We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.

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.

Image
Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.

I've had Botox, but then again pretty much everyone I know has. To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works. You do it once a year - who cares?
Simon Cowell
Image
Maybe I am a bit mad.
Simon Cowell
Image
I don't like kids that are pushed into things by stage mums, but when I can see they are having a good time, they're excited and enjoying the process, then I think it's wrong to discriminate.
Simon Cowell
Image
I didn't realise how important stupid people are in your life, because you ask yourself, what made stupid people so stupid? What made them the way they are?
Simon Cowell
Image
Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.

I was living life like in one of those Disney movies, where I genuinely believed nobody was ever going to die

Praise a stranger with a few nice words and he becomes a stranger that calls you a friend.

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.

If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.

The artists who endure are the ones who stay focused even after they have reached the top of their profession.
