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

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.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.
Elton John

People say, You should write lyrics and I say I'm quite happy not to, because I like being part of that process where you write your version of what someone else's lyrics are saying to you, and that enjoyment has never changed.
Elton John

My mother encouraged me and was very great about me being gay, but she always encouraged me to follow my musical dreams, which I'm very grateful for.

And the stigma hasn't really changed that much in 31 years. You are still getting people - it's a shame-based disease. It's based on sexual transmission. And it's still shame-based. And until people feel strong enough and feel loved enough to actually open up and say, listen, I'm HIV-positive, then we are facing an uphill battle.

At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
Elton John

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

There ain't been no angels in heaven around since God invented girls.
Elton John

I had a little Richard and that black piano, oh that sweet Georgia Peach, and the boy form Tupelo.

It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.

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

I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.
