More quotes by 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.

I didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.
Simon Cowell
It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns
Simon Cowell
I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.
Simon Cowell
There's no need for me to get married. I live with someone we're happy end of story.
Simon Cowell
You know what the secret to weight loss is? Don't eat much.
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
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.
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
Rules equal boredom, and I don't like that.
Simon Cowell
Sincerity is romantic. I don't think you need gestures.
Simon Cowell
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.
Simon Cowell
I love TV. I love being behind the scenes on a TV show but there's something about, I don't know there's something very special when you've signed an artist and that first record comes in and it's a good record. It is an indescribable feeling.
Simon Cowell
If I went to a psychiatrist, it would be a long session. I've always thought that I do have a number of issues that probably need dealing with, because I am quite odd in some ways.
Simon Cowell
It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.
Simon Cowell
My heart, my lungs, my blood - they've all been checked. I remember one of the doctors almost being disappointed when he showed me the results because he couldn't wait to tell me what smoking was doing to me. But there was nothing there.
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
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.
Simon Cowell
Anything I shouldn't laugh at makes me laugh. I mean, I'm bad at that, when somebody is singing something terribly and I'm thinking to myself, 'If I laugh now, this is the absolute worst thing I could ever do,' and then I start laughing and I can't stop.
Simon Cowell
My life honestly isn't as weird as people think it is. I work longer hours, maybe I have a bit more money, but fundamentally, I'm not really that different.
Simon Cowell
