Have I got a black book? Yes, it’s called a mobile phone. I do get offers. There is no shortage of people if you want to go on dates – working in TV, living in L.A., it is there if you want it.

SIMON COWELLThey understand what their market is and who they should be selling records to, and most importantly, they know the kind of artist that they want to be, but they have to do it themselves. You don’t want a 13-year-old singing some awful song from a musical.
SIMON COWELLThere’s no need for me to get married. I live with someone; we’re happy; end of story.
SIMON COWELLI 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.
SIMON COWELLI couldn’t think of anything worse than being in an unhappy marriage. It worries me because I’ve seen it destroy people.
SIMON COWELLBritain’s got talent, enormous talent, that’s very obvious.
SIMON COWELLIt was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns
SIMON COWELLAnything 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 COWELLI 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 COWELLThere’s one argument that says we shouldn’t be putting these kids on under the age of 16. I think you’ve got to take it case by case.
SIMON COWELLI don’t mind competition at all. I mean, the record business is the most competitive business in the world, probably. So I’m used to that. In a weird way, it kind of makes you work harder.
SIMON COWELLI have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.
SIMON COWELLYou don’t hate the mosquito; you just want it out of your face.
SIMON COWELLI didn’t have any qualifications when I left school – I had three O-levels.
SIMON COWELLThe only magazines I read are car magazines.
SIMON COWELLYou sounded like someone who should be singing on a cruise ship. Halfway through your song, I wished the ship was sinking.
