Of course I have an ego, but you have to have an ego. You have to be incredibly competitive. I can get competitive at times, way too much, and it becomes a little bit obsessive.

More quotes by Simon Cowell
I like to know why a video has suddenly gone viral, why a song has broken, why a TV show is suddenly rating out of pattern... I'm pretty good at understanding why things are becoming popular.
Simon Cowell
My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.
Simon Cowell
I don't mind being cast as some kind of a pantomime baddie, but I am very fair in business. I always have been. I pride myself on being fair.
Simon Cowell
Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.
Simon Cowell
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.
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 get very anti-social, depressed and irritable with people. I don't have time for them. I can't make phone calls and stuff. I just sit on my own for days.
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
People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.
Simon Cowell
At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.
Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell
If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.
Simon Cowell
I've always treated the music business as a business.
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
The best way to kill someone is from the inside, by crushing their hopes and dreams.
Simon Cowell
For the music business, social networking is brilliant. Just when you think it's doom and gloom and you have to spend millions of pounds on marketing and this and that, you have this amazing thing now called fan power. The whole world is linked through a laptop. It's amazing. And it's free. I love it. It's absolutely brilliant.
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
Everyone who turns up on 'X Factor' does it because a door has been closed to them at some time in their lives, and this is the only shot they have got.
Simon Cowell
It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.
Simon Cowell
Britain's got talent, enormous talent, that's very obvious.
