Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

What I would argue in my defence is that shows like Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor have actually got people more interested in music again and are sending more people into record stores.

I was living life like in one of those Disney movies, where I genuinely believed nobody was ever going to die

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.

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.

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.

We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.
Simon Cowell
Image
At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.

Image
I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper.

The best way to kill someone is from the inside, by crushing their hopes and dreams.

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

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.

I still put punctuation in my texts. If it's an 'I', I make sure it's a capital.
Simon Cowell
Image
I don't mind being cast as some kind of a pantomime baddie, but I am very fair in business. I always have been. I pride myself on being fair.

My proudest achievement has been the success of the shows and artists I have been involved with, because they were made in Britain.

You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.
