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 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
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
Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.
Simon Cowell
At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.
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 do see a big difference in the American work ethic compared to the British work ethic in a lot of artists.
Simon Cowell
In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
