From The Start, I've Always Admired Eminem's Thinking. That's The Reason I Wanted To Appear On The Grammys With Him When I Was Asked. Eminem Has The Balls To Say What He Feels And To Make Offensive Things Funny. That's Very Necessary Today In America, With People Being Muzzled And Irony Becoming A Lost Art. Artists Like Eminem Who Use Their Free Speech To Get A Point Across Are Vitally Important. There Just Aren't Many People In The World With Balls That Big And Talent That Awesome.

More From Elton John

I'm A Very Wealthy Man.

Well, As I Was Saying... Everyone's So Nice To Me, Usually.

I've Always Been A Fan, So My Enthusiasm Has Always Been Great, But It's Never Going To Be The Same As It Was From 1970 To 1975. You Cannot Repeat That, But You Can Get Inspired By Searching, By Being Mystified.

I'm Addicted To Working. I Mean, I Have A List Of 100 Countries I Want To Play In. I'm Basically Killing Myself By Travelling So Much, For No Reason Whatsoever.

I Mean, Sting Is One Of My Great Buddies And I Love Him To Death.

So I Am Deeply Saddened And Shocked Over The Current Legislation That Is Now In Place Against The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual And Transgender Community Here In Russia. In My Opinion, It Is Inhumane And It Is Isolating.

What A Scandal, If I Die. Yeah, I'm Gonna Kill Myself, Get A Little Headline News.

Lawdy Mama, Those Friday Nights When Suzy Wore Her Dresses Down Tight.

The Great Thing About Rock And Roll Is That Someone Like Me Can Be A Star.

Don't Be Afraid To Let Her Into Your Heart And When Your Down, Don't Try To Carry The Whole World On Your Shoulders.

I Love Every Minute Of Fatherhood, Staying Up All Night, Changing Nappies, Kids Crying, I Find It Really Funny And Inspiring. It Connects You To The World In A New Way.

But Until We Get Rid Of That Shame, Then People Are Going To Stay Underground, They Are Not Going To Get Tested, And We're Facing An Uphill Battle [with Aids].

I Never Thought Of Myself As Being Handsome Or Good-looking Or Whatever.

I Had To Learn How To Function As A Human Being. And I Really Enjoyed That Process.

I Don't Think You Can Recreate Anything From The Past. You Can Not Do It. If You're Going To Go Out And Imitate A Motown Sound, You Can't Do It, It's Impossible Because Of The Studios And Players Involved And The Atmosphere.

It Seems To Me, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.

I Don't Want To Be Married. I'm Very Happy With A Civil Partnership. If Gay People Want To Get Married, Or Get Together, They Should Have A Civil Partnership. The Word 'marriage,' I Think, Puts A Lot Of People Off. You Get The Same Equal Rights That We Do When We Have A Civil Partnership. Heterosexual People Get Married. We Can Have Civil Partnerships.

Jesus Wanted Us To Be Loving And Forgiving.

I Used To Take Hostages In My Relationships And Not Let People Be Independent. It Always Ended In Disaster, Because You Take Away People's Identity And They End Up Full Of Resentment.

I'm 27 Years Clean, And When You Get Clean, You See Things In A Different Way. It Makes Your Life So Much More Manageable.

Drunk All The Time, Feeling Fine On Elderberry Wine.

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.

To Fight The Violence We Must Be Brave, Hold On Strong To The Love God Gave.

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 Loathe Gardening, But I Love Gardens, And I Have Two Beautiful Gardens. I Can Not Bear Gardening, But I Love Gardens.

I Have An Optimistic View Of Everything. You Have To, Otherwise You'd Go Nuts.

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Time On My Hands Could Be Time Spent With You.

Poor Cow, You'll Get Your Dumb Man. You'll See Your Whole Life Coming At You In The Back Of His Hand.

I Had Progressed On Stage As A Performer, But I Hadn't Progressed As A Human Being.

I'm Going To Fight For Human Rights, Whether I Do It Silently Behind The Scenes Or Vocally So That I Get Locked Up. I Can't Just Sit Back; It's Not In My Nature. I Can't Sit Back And Blindly Ignore It, And I Won't.

Behind The Scenes

I'm Still As Fascinated With The Music Business As Ever. I'd Love To Do An Electronic Album Like Prodigy Or Underworld. I Really Like That Sort Of Music.

Dave And I As A Couple Seem To Be The Acceptable Face Of Gayness, And That's Great. I've Got To Use That Power To Try And Do What I Can - Or We Have - To Try To Make The Situations In Russia And Poland Better.

I Don't Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life Talking About When I Used To Drink Or When I Used To Take Drugs. I'm More Interested In The Future.

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'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.

Love's Like A Junkie, Addiction's A Fact. Passion's A Monkey, You Can't Keep Off Your Back.

I'm Glad I've Given Up Drugs And Alcohol. It Would Be Awful To Be Like Keith Richards. He's Pathetic. It's Like A Monkey With Arthritis, Trying To Go Onstage And Look Young.

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.

I Was Incredibly Confident On Stage Because That's Where I Loved To Be. But Offstage, There Was No Balance. I Was A Little Shy Kid That Went Onstage. And I Always Said, Cocaine Was The Drug That Made Me Open Up. I Could Talk To People. But Then It Became The Drug That Closed Me Down. So It Started Out By Making Me Talk To Everyone, And Then Ended Up By Me Isolating Myself Alone With It; Which Is The End Of The World, Really.

If There Is A Better Singer In England Than Craig David, Then I Am Margaret Thatcher.

Sometimes When I’m Flying Over The Alps I Think, 'that’s Like All The Cocaine I Sniffed.'

I've Only Been Interested In The Artistic Side Of Life.

Johnny, Can't You Come Out To Play In Your Empty Garden?

I'm Not Bored With My Life. I'm Not Just Making The Records And Touring, I Would Find That Boring.

I Used To Get My Money At The End Of The Week, Buy My Mum Something, Or Buy A Record, And That Was It.

And I'm Afraid, In This Day And Age, Trust, Which I Count So, You Know, I Love Loyalty. I Love Trust.

The Aids Disease Is Caused By A Virus, But The Aids Epidemic Is Not. The Aids Epidemic Is Fueled By Stigma, By Hate, By Misinformation, By Ignorance, By Indifference. Science Has Accomplished Miracles Over The Past 20 Years, And Science Can Now End This Disease - But It Cannot End The Epidemic. We Need More Than Medicine. We Can Do Something About These Things. We Need To Speak Out About The Changes We Need To Make In Our Society.

But We Came For The Kennedy Center Awards, Which Was An Incredible Honor. Being A British Person, I Was Bestowed This Honor. And My Partner And I, David, Came. And We Were So Pleasantly Surprised By George Bush And His Knowledge Of Aids. He Really - He Treated David And I - And Laura - Treated Us Like - They Were So Friendly And So Courteous.

Your Eyes Have Died, But You See More Than I.

In The '50s You Weren't Taught About Sex Whatsoever. It Was Never Just Talked About. People Used To Snoop Behind Their Curtains And Look At The Neighbors. And If A Girl Became Pregnant In Your Part Of The World, She Was Shipped Off To The Countryside.

Blue Jean Baby, La Lady, Seamstress For The Band. Pretty Eyed, Pirate Smile, You'll Marry A Music Man. Ballerina, You Must Have Seen Her Dancing In The Sand.

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.

The Less I Say The More My Work Gets Done.

It Was Scotty Moore's Guitar Riff [in "i Want You, I Need You, I Love You"] When He Was Doing The Steve Allen Show That Got Me Into Rock Music.

I'd Walk A Million Miles To Give Her What She Needs. But She Would Walk A Million More To Do What She Believes.

I Want A Love That Don't Mean A Thing.

I Became Successful And Within Five Years Conquered The World And Had The Most Amazing Run. I Had So Much Momentum And Adrenaline Going, But Then It Ends And You Have To Find What Level You're Going To Be On, How Enthusiastic You're Going To Be.

I'm 57, I Can't Look Like A 30-year-old. You Try To Hold Age At Bay, But There Comes A Point When You Just Have To Give Up Gracefully.

He'd Been Drinking In A Bar Downtown, When He Thought He Heard A Choir Of Angels Singing In The Tiki Lounge. And That's When He Got Religion.

Yeah. I Have Been With David Furnish For Eight Years, Now.

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.

I'm Very Relaxed. I'm Very Happy With My Personal Life.

And We Have Come So Far Like That. I Mean, The Advances On The Medication Side Have Been Enormous, And The Advances On The Human Side Have Been Enormous. But We Still Have This Stigma To Get Rid Of, And Then We Really Will Be Able To See The Light At The End Of The Tunnel.

I Rarely Wear Tennis Shoes. I'm 5' 8', I Hate Being Short.

If People Are Encouraged To Come Out And Say They're Hiv-positive And They're Given Their Treatments, Then Obviously, The People Who Are Marginalized - Like Intravenous Drug Users, Prisoners, People Are Made To Feel Less-than - If They're Given The Support Of The Government, And They're Given The Funding, Then It's Going To Help Solve The Spread Of Aids And Hiv In America.

We Can't Keep Thinking Of Gay People As Being Ostracised; We Can't Keep Thinking Of Muslim People As Being [ostracised] Because Of The Fundamentalism That Occurs In Islam. Muslim People Have To Do Something About Speaking Up About It. We Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover.

I Had No Balance In My Life. I Was This One Person Onstage And This Person Offstage, Who Really Didn't Know Much About Living.

It Took A Child. It Took A Child With A Blood Transfusion Not Only To Wake Me Up, But To Wake America Up, Basically. I Mean, I Read About His Plight In A Doctor's Office In New York In A Magazine. I Was So Outraged About It That I Contacted The Family. We Became Friends. I Helped Them Move To Another Place In Indiana. And We Became Constant Friends.

We Were Both Very Much The Same. We Were Both Very Impulsive. We Both Loved Life. We Both Loved Shopping. We Both Had A Love Of Clothes, Obviously, Because He Was The Designer That I Kind Of Wore Forever And Ever.
