As Elton John, my days on pop radio are over, and I know that and I accept it and I'm not unhappy about it.

I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.

I mean, in some cases with libel laws, you know, they can write things about people who have no course of action, because they can't afford to take legal action against them.

The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.

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.

I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear, you almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear?
