I love Simon Cowell, he's a dear friend.
I had to do the book because there was an unauthorised biography which didn't tell it like it was.
I did smoke a joint once but I did not enjoy it.
I didn't think before that I'd done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I'm now ready to tell my story.
I humbly apologise for reality Television.
The difference with me is that I did inhale.
