Yeah. I have been with David Furnish for eight years, now.

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.

On Keith Richards: He's like a monkey with arthritis.

I heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it. I didn't ever want to be anything else. I just started banging away and semi-studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music but sort of half-heartedly.

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.

Holy Moses, let us live in peace. Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease. There's a man over there, what's his colour I don't care, he's my brother, let us live in peace.

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.
