To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.

There's a time for everyone, If they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.

The French are useless. They can't organize a piss-up in a brewery.

It was Elvis that got me interested in music. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a kid.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

I'm a very wealthy man.

Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all and it's relaxed me.

I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.

I've dodged so many bullets. Not just because of unsafe sex, but because of the amount of drugs I did, the amount of alcohol, the amount of work I was doing. I started the Elton John AIDS Foundation because I got so lucky.

When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.

I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
Elton John
Image
And I agreed with that, and I couldn't wait to change my name anyway, because I'm not too fond of the name of Reginald. It's a very kind of '50s English name.

The Backstreet Boys can sing their asses off. I'm not so sure about those other boy bands. But Backstreet Boys have my ultimate respect.

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

An agent is a person who is sore because an actor gets 90% of what they make.

A great editor is the most valuable thing you can have as an artist because, as you said, sometimes you get too close to something. I think, apart from your talent, that's why you have the career you have - because you have great people behind you.

What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I'm gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.
