More quotes by 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 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
Sincerity is romantic. I don't think you need gestures.
Simon Cowell
The young people working for me are ambitious and hard-working. That work ethic has always been a trait of the British.
Simon Cowell
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
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.

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?

As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.
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
Women say hello and then put their hands down my trousers. I thought it was my hand they were supposed to shake.
Simon Cowell
If I had to say who is the number-one most powerful figure is in reality TV, it's very easy. It is the general public. They're the only people who have power now.
Simon Cowell
The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.
Simon Cowell
I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.
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
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 do see a big difference in the American work ethic compared to the British work ethic in a lot of artists.
Simon Cowell
If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.
Simon Cowell
People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.
