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.

Every time I sat in a chemistry lesson I thought, what am I doing this for? I don't ever want to be in a job that involves a Bunsen burner.'

If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her. ... I like her.
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.

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
In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
Simon Cowell
People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

I still put punctuation in my texts. If it's an 'I', I make sure it's a capital.
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
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.
Simon Cowell
It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns
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
Thank God kids love following an artist. When you get a group who pop, it's the best thing in the world.
Simon Cowell
The young people working for me are ambitious and hard-working. That work ethic has always been a trait of the British.
Simon Cowell
I think if you're an unhappy person, you're always going to be an unhappy person. You're probably going to be less unhappy if your business is doing well, if I'm being honest.
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.
