Piers Morgans Life Storie's With Simon Cowell P1

tonight I'm interviewing Simon Cowell and to say I'm looking forward to this is one of the greatest understatements of the millennium what I kind of said to him stupidly just ask whatever you want it's down Spears whatever you guess could be an exclusive either I think I'm going to show the public aside to Simon Cowell they probably don't even imagine could possibly exist I'm his boss he goes too far can ii so nervous are you sitting there you look more nervous than I did I'm not really nervous okay fine because I know what's coming okay all right kid I'm nervous for control Freight like you this is yall's McKnight there is no uh yes and literally five minutes before we went on I actually sat there and thought what the hell am i doing is the upside here nothing important is it to you to be popular a very important it whether you're a sportsman or you're in business or you know doing what I do where you make TV shows nobody does this to become 77th you know you always always strive to be more successful than your competition and the day that stops you have to stop doing this for a living genuinely you have to have that drug even as a kid if I was losing monopoly I'd tip the border oh my god yeah absolutely or I'd be the banker and nickel the money so I would always win we do you are ridiculously competitive appears coming from you is that I would say I'm gonna how did you on that you are the most competitive person I have ever met seriously in my life and one of the reasons I won't use the word enjoy but sort of put up working with you is is that it actually makes me kind of up my game because you are that competitive I like to win yeah unfortunately I'm working for you so I don't as I always say to peers I control the Edit not on this show you know I'm curious what it would be like when you actually came into my world what you would demand in your dressing room you might imagine no super rich very famous very cultured you might think lobster caviar champagne by the way I don't ask for these clothes shooter chilled Perrier water with fresh lime wedges brackets not slices actually if I could just pick you up on that we did have a problem with the sliced lime I'm not being serious because whoever cut it cut it with somebody who'd obviously cut an onion so my lime water tasted like onion Oh sir please can I apologize above everyone kept it embarrass coca-cola 7up PG tipps with semi-skimmed milk and something called squeezy honey pour tea squeezy it means you can squeeze the honey rather than you know dip in a selection of Walkers crisps eg Worcester sauce flavor or prawn cocktail Carol a selection a selection of Cadbury's chocolate eg toffee crisps Twix or butter I mean I suppose what this says to me though is what I've always thought of them you are a very ordinary guy when it comes to your eating taste I would argue that was to sauce flavor Walker crisps are quite exhaustive but know that I have the same taste when I was a child you know all the things I used to like as a kid I still like so genuinely might my taste haven't changed at all do you think the secret to your success is actually that you are in many ways and the way you lead your life your tastes are quite average middle-of-the-road the kind of stuff that the mass-market would like for sure absolutely right and I don't think you can make records other that you can make TV shows properly unless you can sit there as a listener or viewer you can't guess what people like it would be like me guessing what you want for dinner it's impossible I can tell you what I want so I base everything on my own tastes and I have you know fairly broad you know I would say quite simple tastes a musical tastes what would you do I have an iPod yeah I don't know how to use it though no genuinely though I keep being given them and I don't know how to use them I'm not somebody who could just put a record on on my own and sort of you know get into the lyrics you on your own at home you know one of your mansions do what kind of music what kind of music you actually like this thing to that different man shouldn't say are magicians peers I know what appears I know what mention is I do not live in a mansion la home is a bloody great big mansion oh it's a nice house it's not a mansion would you call it it's a large ugly bedrooms in your large house um six how many servants it all servant fear mansions and servants I have a collection of people who work with me in the house and probably I'd know about seven or eight right what is the music that you would get one of them to put on for you I have a thing okay a machine where where loads of things are stored right so you could just flick on you like certain musically I'm kind of like an old soul so I like anything from Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder Frank Sinatra kind of classic R&B or or I love the whole big-band era um t apart from your own shows what telly would you like to watch I like classic old comedies things that I you like cartoons done I do I always a lot of cartoons like what well I like all the old hanna-barbera ones my Ataman Wacky Races Flintstones it actually puts me in a good mood you do that you wake up and your normal daily routines you get up about half three neoteny yeah and then you actually do sit in the bath and you watch the things doesn't what I believe in I think you have to go to go to bed in a good mood it's very important and you have to wake up in a good mood so I kind of have a routine where I have breakfast in bed and then I put the TV on and particularly in America because you can store everything I watch cartoons yeah this image of you getting up in the morning now beating your chest and shouting you ever never do no I lie there and watch somebody else do yeah can you lead a normal life I do lead a relatively normal life the difference being is that I am totally and utterly consumed by my work to the point almost of an obsession so almost every night I will be working till 3:00 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning so my life is kind of controlled controlled by that how do you sleep I sleep very very late because the time I think best is probably two or three in the morning and you have to take sleeping bills and stuff yeah every night almost every night yeah because it's I'm partly it's because I'm looking forward to the following day and I also freaked out at the idea that I can't sleep said the more I think about it it bothers me but it will come a point if I get bored or it's too much where I would happily walk away seriously yeah what would it take just literally one day waking up I'll tell you how I gauge everything to be honest with you which is Sunday nights when I was at school were the most miserable evenings of my life I mean literally seven o'clock this ghastly religious program would come one Linda and the theme tune would mean I've got to get ready now for tomorrow more numbers they do your homework for whatever it was and I have this sickening feeling in my stomach because I dreaded Mondays so much and I always thought if I ever felt that way when I work it's time to stop have you come close to that I came close last year when I looked at about June July and and my PA showed me my schedule for this year were in now I had an 18-month edgehill which took me all the way up to December of this year every single day was practically planned and that really depressed me that I was now
