"Normally, they want me to be rude to……" — Simon Cowell

"Normally, they want me to be rude to them. People come up to me and sing, and I say 'That was great. Thank you.' And they're like 'Well, aren't you going to be rude to me?' No! When I miss auditions, contestants get upset that I'm not there, because they expect me to be cruel to them...it's some sort of badge of honor. That's how crazy everything is."
