Simon Cowell is possibly human after all. He’s the cranky judge on American Idol here in North America but he also works on X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent in the U.K. and he continues to produce music. I’ve often wondered how he could possibly do it all and not get burnt out. From what he recently 
told the Daily Mirror, I can assume he’s wondering the same thing. He said "I don’t want to come over as whiney, because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs. But there is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up. I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows a year, [along] with the record label and the TV production company."
How does he manage to work in two parts of the world? There are times when he actually has to make four transatlantic flights a week. I cannot imagine that. Just one flight to get somewhere is exhausting to me. I can’t imagine how he knows where he is and what time it is. Maybe that’s why he’s so cranky!
Anyway, Simon says that one of his jobs “may have to go” and, if you look at his reasoning, it sounds like he’s saying that he could quit American Idol. "I can’t imagine not doing Britain’s Got Talent, and I can’t imagine not doing X Factor," he says. "I guess [my show in] America is more likely to go, because I have got one year [left on] contract. Maybe that will be the end."
Not that Cowell plans to kick back should he unearth any free time. Rather, he says, "I have got one idea to launch a big new show next year. But can I tell you what it is? Absolutely not."
He also revealed that he’s got an idea for a big new television show but he refused to say what it was. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
