Famous quotes from Sir Simon Cowell :

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

“If you’ve got a big mouth and you’re controversial, you’re going to get attention.”

“You’ve got quite a good voice, the problem I have is this looks to me like 10 years ago.”

“Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator.”

“I have a horrible feeling that this song is going to be a hit”

“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.”

“Frank (Sinatra) was the king of cool. If he was a lion, you were a mouse.”

“Let me throw a mathematical dilemma at you - there`s 500 left, well how come the odds of you winning are a million to one?”

“Sit in these auditions for three weeks and hear I Believe I Can Fly” out of tune for the millionth time, YOU try and be nice”

“I have heard some bad performances in my time. And I can honestly say that is one of the worst of them.”

“No, what I am doing is kind by telling people who are useless `Do something that you`re good at`. So I would only feel guilt if I misled somebody who was terrible.”

“The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.”

“I met someone the other night who`s 28 years old, and he hasn`t worked a day since he left college because he`s pursuing a dream he`ll never, ever realize: He thinks he`s a great singer. Actually, he`s crap.”

“If I said to most of the people who auditioned, `Good job, awesome, well done,` it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It`s quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.”

“I`d accept an honour but I don`t think I`m likely to get one. The Queen once described me as a dreadful man”
