I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands
Elton John

The world is near escalating to World War Three and where are the leaders of each religion? Why aren't they having a conclave why aren't they coming together?
Elton John
Image
I used to take hostages in my relationships and not let people be independent. It always ended in disaster, because you take away people's identity and they end up full of resentment.
Elton John
Image
Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.

I'm cold as a razor blade, inches from madness.

I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that was with a man. I made up for lost time after that in a hurry. I wish I could have had sex when I was, like, 14, 15 or 16 because that's such an exciting age to have sex.

Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
Image
That's just a part of being an artist: you can't write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you'd be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.
Elton John

A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
Elton John
Image
I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.
Elton John
Image
But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It's just when they step over the line that, you know, enough's enough.
Elton John

I'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly.

You should never take more than you give

Ask anyone. If it hadn't been for Elvis, I don't know where popular music would be. He was the one that started it all off, and he was definitely the start of it for me.

I'm addicted to working. I mean, I have a list of 100 countries I want to play in. I'm basically killing myself by travelling so much, for no reason whatsoever.

Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
