I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.

Live for each second without hesitation

I've got a great collection of photography.

Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers, and I guess that's why they call it the blues.

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.

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

Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'

Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.

I'm lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to buy photographs and buy art that inspires me from day to day. I don't want a Picasso on my wall it's great art, but it's dead art to me. I'd rather have a photograph by someone I've never heard of that really inspires me.

I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.

I love to work. It fascinates me. And I love seeing who's coming up, who's got the charisma to last, who's got the intelligence to move on to other things. I'm so glad now that I'm stuck behind the piano, because when you're getting older it's very hard to waddle around the stage.

They [sic] ain't gonna stop me from coming here, baby.

I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before.

Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today.

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.

I've been following him since Space Oddity. And I've followed him from all those albums that didn't sell, like The Man Who Sold The World and things like that. Above all, apart from all the glamorous rubbish, the music's there. Ziggy Stardust is a classic album.

Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.
