I'm Enjoying Everything In My Life, But I Think The Element Of Surprise In Show Business Is What Makes Us Really Love It, Because One Day You're Sitting By The Phone Waiting To Do Something Or Not Doing Anything, And The Next Day You've Got The Chance Of A Lifetime. Those Little Phone Calls Don't Come Up So Often, But When They Come Up, It's Fantastic.

I Was Still Shy Offstage And Unfortunately, My Shyness And My Inability To Communicate And Really Have Great Conversations Or Be Part Of The Gang - In Inverted Commas - Led Me To The Drug Addiction, Which, You Know, Blighted My Life For 16 Years Because I Thought By Doing That It Would Make Me Join In.

When People Go To Rehab And Come Out, They Go Through A Difficult Period, A Lot Of People. I Never Had That. I Was So Glad To Be Rid Of All That Crap That For Me, To Learn Again And To Function As A Human Being And Learn How To Participate In The Human Race Again Was Just Pure Joy.

When A Rumor Doesn't Go Away It's Not A Rumor

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.

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.

Drunk All The Time, Feeling Fine On Elderberry Wine.

I Love Football, But I'm Sick Of The World Cup. I Don't Even Care About England.

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.

Shock Waves To A Tired Brain, Sends That Hungry Lady To My Door Again. She's My Shelter From The Storm When I Feel The Rain, Entertaining White Powder.

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.

And These [pharmaceutical] Companies Are Still Threatening To Sue. And It's Like, You Know, Do You Not Have A Conscience? Do You Not Want The World To Be A Better Place? You're Still Making A Profit. How Much More Of A Profit Do You Want To Make?

There's A Lot Of Hate In The World.

It Was Also Great To Have The Backstreet Boys Appear On Stage With Me Because I Have Gotten To Know Them All A Little Bit Just Recently, And Not Only Are They Great Performers, But They Also Very Hard Working Professionals And Really Nice Guys.

All This Science I Don't Understand, It's Just My Job Five Days A Week.

It's Awful To Be Afraid Of Sex, But I'm Afraid That's What The '50s Did To People. It Was Just Sex Is Disgusting, It Shouldn't Be Talked About. Nudity Is Disgusting, We Just Don't Talk About Those Kinds Of Things.

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

People Still Think Of Aids As A Shame-based Disease, It's A Sexually Transmitted Disease, And You're Either Gay Or You're A Prostitute Or An Intravenous Drug User.

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.

I’ll Not Complain About Your Boring Life, If You Just Leave Me To Mine

They're [[harmaceuticals Companies] Just Making A Killing Out Of People's Death. And They're Benefiting By People's Suffering. And I Find That Obscene.
