I’ve always admired this man. So unbelievably authentic. He speaks the same now as he did at the beginning of his career. Upfront, thoughtful about his answers and so honest about his mistakes. I pray to god he does bring X Factor back because I 110% trust him after listening to this. Smart man

[@JamesJohnAgar]

Take it he has something to promote since he is all over The Sun newspaper website & it must be a slow news day!

[@Heytno]

Exactly my thoughts

Work? Definitely not Physical Work? His "work" was Jaw-dropping!

Thank you to The Sun and Simon for the scary halloween video

Simon is a articulate Englishman who speaks like a gentleman. He doesn’t say too much or speak too quickly. He is easy to listen to and explains himself well. A thinker. But is he a deep thinker who wonders about life? Maybe he is. Success is terribly important isn’t it, but it’s not the end all and be all, is it? Because there’s more to life than this. However as deep philosophical thinking can be confrontational, it’s not for everyone. For instance, did Jesus really rise from the dead? Did that actually happen? And if it did, then what shall we say about his sayings?

Something change in Simon cowell life something which he don't care before ...and why not talk for piers Morgan media ? Respect 🎉

[@CucumberCheese]

Lots of insecure, jealous people in this comment section. Gotta ask why they'd bother clicking and commenting if they're so uninterested in this man?

[@TheMockatiel]

Really brings it home just how deeply “social” media has ripped the fabric of society to permanent shreds at this point. Everyone on their worst and most petty behaviour at all times, putting their most negative foot forward. Tearing things down while hiding in the shadows. And now this behaviour has begin to show up IRL. As we devolve back down into ill-mannered,jealous apes. Yay!
