I'm not so sure Alchemist. He's evidently anti-marriage. I always thought he was queer, but he's always got pussy hanging off his arm. Not that this means anything in Hollywood.
“Actually, being on my own is the best thing in the world. It’s like breathing in oxygen — I can really switch off then.” He keeps vampiric hours, going to bed at 2am or 3am, rising late and “working out for an hour or so to a movie”.
Bring up women — over the years Cowell’s perplexing love life has become a constant source of entertainment to the media — and he laughs. “I’m fine as I am. I think that when you get into a rut, it gets boring.” By “rut” does he mean “relationship”? “Look,” he smiles, enjoying himself, “when no matter how big your house is, you are going to end up on the same sofa, in the same bed or in the same room as a person, you are going to get bored. It’s a boring routine.” So marriage as an institution is boring? “Well, the way most people live it, yes. Have a carrot, darling — and dip it in the sauce.”
I still maintain the guy ain't a sucker - we won't be seeing him tying the knot and handing over his fortune to the undeserved anytime soon.
