More quotes by Simon Cowell
At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.
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
If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.
Simon Cowell
Britain's got talent, enormous talent, that's very obvious.
Simon Cowell
I didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.
Simon Cowell
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.
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 was living life like in one of those Disney movies, where I genuinely believed nobody was ever going to die
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
I think the best singers in the world, historically, are American. Britain's got its fair share, as well, but some of the greatest singers, ever, whether you're talking about Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey or Aretha Franklin, are from the legacy here.
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
You know what the secret to weight loss is? Don't eat much.
Simon Cowell
So I would only feel guilt if I misled somebody who was terrible.
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
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
What I'm interested in watching is to make sure that they give the right advice now to the contestants who are going forward because, you know, it's one thing just to criticize but you've got to also give, you know, good advice which is going to help them. Overall, I think they're a good panel.
Simon Cowell
My dad wasn't someone who was a great disciplinarian, we had a fun relationship, but he gave me really constructive advice in my life, which I still carry today and I do pass on to other people. So if I can have the same relationship with my son as I had with my dad, then I think he'll be very happy and I'll be very happy.
Simon Cowell
The feelings that we equate with love-feeling sick, feeling insecure, not eating-that's just lust getting in the way. It's your ego saying, 'I want to get laid' and 'I hope she likes me more than I like her.' Love is something that should be there in 20 years' time.
Simon Cowell
I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.
Simon Cowell
Praise a stranger with a few nice words and he becomes a stranger that calls you a friend.
Simon Cowell
