I was the first judge in the 'Indian Idol' format. The biggest risk when you adapt a format from a country in the West is how to make it your own, so I remember at the press conference for Indian 'X Factor,' the press would ask, 'Who is Simon Cowell?' And I said 'Why don't you ask Simon Cowell, 'Who is Sonu Nigam?'

Sonu Nigam

I would have Simon Cowell sing 'Shiny Happy People' by R.E.M. just to show his true personality.

Sanjaya Malakar

Making good television is what Simon Cowell does. That's his business.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Maybe Simon Cowell for his effect on music. I call him Slimy Cowpat.

Mick Hucknall

I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him.

George Benson

Simon Cowell is tight. That's why he's so successful - he's able to keep his money to himself.

Niall Horan

I think to get Simon Cowell out of his comfort zone would be rather interesting. I don't know what I would make him do.

Keith Barry

I made Simon Cowell look stupid once. He is terrified of presenting so I gave him the microphone and walked away. He hates interviewing people it means the focus is off him.

Ryan Seacrest

If Simon Cowell asked me, of course I would love to do 'X Factor.'

Ronan Keating

The 'X Factor' is the biggest show on TV and the other shows are just copying us with their silly chairs. Simon Cowell is the king of TV and if he's not involved then it's not good.
