More quotes by Simon Cowell
Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.
Simon Cowell
It's not our intention to be mean. That's just within us.
Simon Cowell
It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns
Simon Cowell
Britain's got talent, enormous talent, that's very obvious.
Simon Cowell
You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.
Simon Cowell
Well, it's basically the viewers who determine it. We - well, basically the producers and myself chose the people we felt had the best reaction, you know, through the press, the Internet, the people we thought deserved a second chance. And they've chosen a winner, I believe.
Simon Cowell
On one level, going bust didn't bother me. It was the 80s, and there wasn't the stigma about bankruptcy that you might think. My mates weren't bothered. My dad was in business.. he knew that it happened, too. He loaned me the money to bail me out, and I got a loan from the bank to pay him back.
Simon Cowell
I have very good advice to give to kids this age, which is, you shouldn't listen to your mum or dad and you just have to work it out for yourself. And the reason I've taken the age range down this year, and I never would have done it 10 years ago, is what I've seen with the success of Willow Smith. You don't have to be so cutesy anymore.
Simon Cowell
You have to be original. The people creating a buzz on YouTube are taking risks, and they're doing something different. I like it when 15 year-olds come on and tell me what to do rather than the other way around.
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
You have an advantage if you win. I always think it's best to be remembered as a winner rather than as the runner-up. It's definitely more fun getting the gold than it is the silver.
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 didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.
Simon Cowell
I don't have sophisticated tastes. I have average tastes. If you looked in my collection of DVDs, you'd see 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars.' In the book library, you'd see John Grisham and Sidney Sheldon. And if you look in my fridge, it's, like, children's food - chips, milkshakes, yogurt.
Simon Cowell
Have I got a black book? Yes, it's called a mobile phone. I do get offers. There is no shortage of people if you want to go on dates - working in TV, living in L.A., it is there if you want it.
Simon Cowell
We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.
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
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
Anyone who goes on 'The X Factor' to make big money will be in for a big shock.
Simon Cowell
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.
Simon Cowell
