“You know what the secret to weight loss is? Don't eat much.” — Simon Cowell Quote

You know what the secret to weight loss is? Don't eat much.

I hated school, but I love work.

Anyone who goes on 'The X Factor' to make big money will be in for a big shock.

I didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.

Everyone who turns up on 'X Factor' does it because a door has been closed to them at some time in their lives, and this is the only shot they have got.

I feel a loss as much as anyone. I take it personally and wonder what I can improve on.

I never think about losing. That's why it's so hard to accept a loss.

We all understand loss. It's about what you do with that.

A very powerful theme in fiction is that of loss.

When the attention is on me, off-camera, I get uncomfortable - sort of shy and at a loss for words, as you can probably tell?
