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've Always Wanted To Smash A Guitar Over Someone's Head. You Just Can't Do That With A Piano.

Anyone Who Lip-synchs In Public On Stage When You Pay 75 Pounds To See Them Should Be Shot.

Religion Promotes The Hatred And Spite Against Gays. From My Point Of View, I Would Ban Religion Completely. Organised Religion Doesn't Seem To Work. It Turns People Into Really Hateful Lemmings And It's Not Really Compassionate.

Live For Each Second Without Hesitation

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

I Wasn't Involved In Anything. I Wasn't Out - You Know, I Know I Wasn't In Act Up. I Wasn't With Larry Kramer. I Wasn't By His Side. I Wasn't Saying What I Should Do, Because, By All Accounts, I Was A Drug Addict And An Alcoholic. And I Was Living In A Complete Bubble Of Self-absorption.

I'll Even Pay Sometimes For A Woman That's Ugly.

Oh Teacher, I Need You Like A Little Child, You Got Something In You To Drive A School Boy Wild.

Because, I Figured That, Because I Was A Successful Man, I Was Wealthy, I Was, You Know, Seemingly Intelligent - Even That I Am Not Intelligent Enough To Ask For Help.

And I Trusted Someone To Look After Me On The Business Side Of Life.

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

I Cannot Bear Successful People Who Are Miserable.

Mars Ain't The Kind Of Place To Raise Your Kids, In Fact It's Cold As Hell.

The Whole Point Of Being In This Business And Being Blessed And Being Successful Is That You're Able To Do Things For Your Friends Or Your Family, Which Means That They Can Have Something Special In Their Lives, Too.

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

I've Always Enjoyed And Loved Playing Live. I Relish And Cherish It More Than Anything Else Because You Never Know What The Performance Is Going To Be.

I Love People Who Expect Me To Wear Great, Feathery Costumes- And I Do It. It's Like An Actor Getting Into His Costume For His Part. I Don't Really Feel That Part Until I'm Into Whatever I'm Going To Wear.

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.

I Tried To Commit Suicide One Day. It Was A Very Woody Allen-type Suicide. I Turned On The Gas And Left All The Windows Open.

In My 20s I Was So Ignorant About Drugs, And So Naive. I Mean, My Band Was Smoking Marijuana For Years; I Didn't Even Know What A Joint Was. And I'd Never Seen A Line Of Cocaine In My Life. And I Don't Know Whether It Was Bravado Or - Ok, I'll Join In. But My Stupidity, I Had A Line Of Coke, And That Started The Whole Process.

Onstage It Was Always Comfortable For Me Because That's Where I Felt At Home. Offstage It Was A Different Situation. 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.

Fame Attracts Lunatics.

I Am In Deep Shock. I Have Lost A Beloved Friend [george Michael] - The Kindest, Most Generous Soul And A Brilliant Artist. My Heart Goes Out To His Family And All Of His Fans.

It's So Easy To Write Songs About Misery And Hard Times And Sadness. It's Much More Difficult To Write Songs About Happy And Chirpy Stuff.

We Are All God's People; We Have To Get Along And The [religious Leaders] Have To Lead The Way. If They Don't Do It, Who Else Is Going To Do It? They're Not Going To Do It And It's Left To Musicians Or To Someone Else To Deal With It.

I've Always Been Dead Set Against Festivals, Really Suspicious And Wary.

My Sex Drive Has Gone Down So Much Since I've Stopped Doing Coke. I Was One Of The Few People That, When I Did Coke, I Had An Enormous Sex Drive. I Still Have A Healthy Sex Life Today, But It's Not So Important.

But You Know, I Have A Pretty Good Relationship With The Press And The Paparazzi. It's Just When They Step Over The Line That, You Know, Enough's Enough.

Good Relationship

Jesus Wanted Us To Be Loving And Forgiving.

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.

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.

I Just Go Into The Studio, Look At The Lyrics For The First Time When I Put Them On The Piano, And Go. If I Haven't Got It Within 40 Minutes, I Give Up. It's Never Changed, The Thrill Has Never Gone, Because I Don't Know What I'm Going To Get Next.

There Is Such A Thing As Good Interference From Your Record Label. I Don't Think I Get Enough Interference From My Record Label.

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

I'm The Connie Francis Of Rock 'n' Roll.

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.

There's A Lot Of Hate In The World.

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 Can't Talk About - As Eloquently As Everyone Else About A Prevention Or Medicine Or, You Know, Funding, But I Can Talk About The Human Element, Which Is The Main Part Of Aids, Because It Comes To The Human Being And How They Are Being Treated, What Medicines They Are On And What Medicines They Are Not On.

I Still Want To Play Music But I Don't Want To Look Like Donald Duck While I'm Doing It.

I'm Very Relaxed. I Have A Family, I Have A Partner Of 20 Years, I Have A Wonderful Life; Nothing Could Be Better.

That's Just A Part Of Being An Artist: You Can't Write Great Stuff All The Time, Because If You Did, Then You'd Be Inhuman. The Human Side Of People Is That Sometimes They Fail.

I Grew Up At My Grandmother's House, And She Had A Beautiful Garden. I Used To Hate Mowing The Lawn And Weeding, Which Is What You Do When You're A Kid. I Loathe Gardening, But I Love Gardens, And I Have Two Beautiful Gardens.

When We Started, I Was Delivering Meals To People In Atlanta. We Were A Direct-care Organization. And It Was - People Needed Meals, They Needed Transport, They Needed Medication, They Needed Buddy Systems. They Had A Death Sentence. There Was Azt, And That Was Just Prolonging The Agony, Basically. Now People, Of Course, If They Are On Antiretrovirals, They Face A Lifetime Of Health, Basically. I Mean, It Doesn't - It's I Would Say In The 99 Percent Certainty Bracket That If You Are On That Medication, You Will Have A Healthy Life.

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

The Only Thing The Record Companies Put Out Now Is 'best Of,'

Record Companies

This Is A Tremendous Assest For The Club, A Tremendous Headache Lifted From Our Shoulders, Really.

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 Didn't Have Sex Until I Was 23 And That Was With A Man. I Made Up For Lost Time After That In A Hurry. I Wish I Could Have Had Sex When I Was, Like, 14, 15 Or 16 Because That's Such An Exciting Age To Have Sex.

Like A Candle In The Wind, Never Knowing Who To Cling To Until The Rain Set It.

You Can Call Me A Fat, Balding, Talentless Old Queen Who Can't Sing, But You Can't Tell Lies About Me.

If You Write Great Songs With Meaning And Emotion, They Will Last For Ever Because Songs Are The Key To Everything.

And It's One More Beer And I Don't Hear You Any More.

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.

I Like Stevie Wonder. I Usually Wind Up Playing The Same Old Tapes In The Car.

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

This Overload Is Edging Me Further Out To Sea, I Need To Put Some Distances Between Overkill And Me.

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 Find That So Many Of My Peers Of My Age Don't Listen To Anything New. But I Love The New. I Love The Energy Of The New, The Energy Of The New Act. The Young Are So Important. The Young Give You The Energy, And If You Don't Notice The Young, And You Don't Give Them Credit And You Don't Listen To All Sorts Of Music, Then You're Missing Out On Something.

I Get High In The Evening Sniffing Pots Of Glue.

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

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.

On Keith Richards: He's Like A Monkey With Arthritis.

I Was Never Told A Thing About Sex. So I Was Very Naive, As Were My Friends As Well. But I - Me So Especially.

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

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.

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.

Tina Turner Gave Me The Highway Blues.

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

I'm Not Walking Around The Stage, I'm Not Moving.

I Just Think You Shouldn't Expect People To Pay Money To See Someone Sing Live And Then Lip-synch.

What Record Companies Do These Days Is Drain The Blood Dry Of An Album, Take Six Singles Off It, And Harm The Longevity Of Artists' Careers By Doing It.

After Claws And Feathers, He Took Skin And Bone, Shaped It Like An Hour Glass And Made The Angels Moan.

Take Me To The Pilot Of Your Soul.

I Am Such A Luddite When It Comes To Making Music. All I Can Do Is Write At The Piano.

I Don't Have To Compete In The Charts. I Can Just Be Myself As A Musician, A Songwriter And Play With The Musicians That I Really Love.

When Stars Collide, Like You And I, No Shadow Blocks The Sun" - The One

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

It's Much Too Late To Save Myself From Falling.

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

I Think That's The Graveyard Of Musicians, Playing Cabaret. I Think I'd Rather Be Dead Than Work In Cabaret. It's Just So Depressing.

I've Had My Fills Of Cocaine And Pills.

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.

Rock And Roll Came In And Changed My Life And Changed The Whole Music Scene Forever, And Then I Grew To Love R&b And Motown And All Black Music, Gospel Music. But I Never Dismiss Any Form Of Music. I Listen To Everything.

The Less I Say The More My Work Gets Done.

He [ryan White] Had A Kind Of Angelic Aura About Him. And His Family, Too, It's Like, They Are Going Through All This Suffering, And I'm Living This "life Of Riley" And I'm Complaining About Everything, And They Are Living This Horrific Life And Complaining About Nothing.

...i'm So Over The Tattoos And The T-shirts And Rings Through The Noses. It's Not Pretty, It's Not Pleasant, It's Not Exciting. Please Stop It Now.

If There's A God In Heaven, What's He Waiting For? If He Can't Hear The Children, Then He Must See The War.

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.

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

I Get Bombed For Breakfast In The Morning, I Get Bombed For Dinner.

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

I Grew Up Conservative Because My Mum Was A Conservative, And When I Finally Realized What Conservatives Were, I Changed My Mind Immediately.

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.

I Was Just Genuinely Shy. I'd Always Been A Shy Kid.

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. And So A Lot Of People Are Still Very Bigoted About This Disease. It's Such A Treatable Disease. It's So - The End Is In Sight For This Disease, Medically.

Once You Have People Around You Who Don't Question You, You're In A Dangerous Place.

Dangerous Places

People Who Mock Rap And Say, "i Don't Like It," They Should Go And Check Out Kanye [west] In The Studio Rapping, Or Marshall, Eminem, When He's In The Studio. It's A Phenomenon. Don't Knock It Until You've Seen It. It May Not Be Your Cup Of Tea, But Don't Ridicule It.

I Lived My Teenage Years In My 20s When I Sort Of Left Home And Became Elton John Success, Then It Became Elton John Excess... Everything I Couldn't Do When I Was Younger I Did 10 Times Over. I Was Having The Time Of My Life. I Was Becoming The Person That I Wanted To Be.

No Tears To Damn You When Jealousy Burns.

My Mum Always Used To Buy A Record Every Friday.

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 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.

I Love The Way The American Trade Magazines Never Give Anybody A Bad Review Because They're Afraid The Advertising Will Be Taken Out. It's So Hysterical.

Top Dog, Top Hat, Move That Muscle, Move That Fat.

An Agent Is A Person Who Is Sore Because An Actor Gets 90% Of What They Make.

Drunk All The Time, Feeling Fine On Elderberry Wine.

Goodbye Norma Jean From The Young Man In The 22nd Row Who Sees You As Something More Than Sexual More Than Just Our Marilyn Monroe

I Am The Most Well-known Homosexual In The World.

It's Getting Late Have You Seen My Mates, Ma Tell Me When The Boys Get Here, It's Seven O'clock And I Want To Rock, Want To Get A Belly Full Of Beer...

George W. Bush Was Passionate About Aids. And We Had A 10-minute Talk At The Interval Of A Concert At The Kennedy Center About Aids. And I Was Astonished About How Well-informed He Was And His Commitment To Aids. And So It's The Typical Thing Of Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover Until You Have Read The Book.

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.

I Really Appreciate My Performing So Much Better, As I Get Older. I Don't Take It For Granted Anymore. I Really Relish It And Love It.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Sugar Bear, You Almost Had Your Hooks In Me, Didn't You Dear?

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.

I Grew Up In The Fifties And Early Sixties, Which Were Still Quite Conservative, And I Wasn't Given Any Information About Sex Or Anything Like That... I Went Out With Girls At School Because One Had To. I Didn't Experiment With Sex For Quite A Long Time.

You Can Cage The Songbird, But You Can't Make Her Sing. And You Can Trap The Free Bird, But You'll Have To Clip Her Wings.

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.

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.

You Know, No One Should Be Marginalized In Society When It Comes To Health. And, You Know, We Have - As A Foundation, We Have Tried To Champion Those People [sex Workers, Needle Users, Intravenous Drug Users, Prostitutes] And Be By - Be By Their Side And Say, Listen, These People Cannot Be Forgotten. If You Forget About Them, Then The Disease Is Never Going To Go Away.

I've Been Coming To America Since 1970, And It's Like My Second Home, But I've Never Felt Such A Divided Country, Ever. I Didn't Think It Would Get To This Point, And It Breaks My Heart.

Children Are Extremely Important. They Are The Future Of The World.

I've Got To Think About What I'm Going To Say Very Carefully. There's Two Avenues Of Thought: Do You Stop Everyone Going, Ban All The Artists Coming In From Russia? But Then You're Really Leaving The Men And Women Who Are Gay And Suffering Under The Antigay Laws In An Isolated Situation. As A Gay Man, I Can't Leave Those People On Their Own Without Going Over There And Supporting Them. I Don't Know What's Going To Happen, But I've Got To Go.

I Spent The Last Week Of Ryan's Life In Indiana, Indianapolis, With Jeanne And Andrea, Jeanne, His Mother, Andrea, His Sister, And Some Other Beautiful People Who Came. And It Taught Me A Lesson.

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.

The Work Became Like The Drug Addiction, The Clothes, Anything In My Life. It Became - It's Become An Addiction. I'm Addicted To Working.

I Went Up To Prince And Said 'i'm A Big Fan Of Your Stuff' And He Looked At Me And Just Walked Off...left Me Standing There Like A ****. He's A Prat, But A Clever Prat.

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Although I Search Myself, It's Always Someone Else I See I'd Just Allow A Fragment Of Your Life To Wander Free But Losing Everything Is Like The Sun Going Down On Me

Losing Everything

Onstage, It Was Always Comfortable For Me, Because That's Where I Felt At Home. Offstage, It Was A Different Situation. I Was Still Shy Offstage.

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

Once I'd Heard 'modern Times' By Bob Dylan, It Really Changed The Way I Wanted To Make Records.

It Turned Out So Well Because It Was The First Album That I Could Identify With In Terms Of Lyrics. ("captain Fantastic") It Was Passionate...i Could Associate Myself With Every Song...it's A Unique Album In Our History. This Was The Story Of Us..."curtains", The Lyrics To That Are So Beautiful Because It Sums Up Our Friendship So Much, And Our Relationship.

I'm A Very Wealthy Man.

When Your Persona Begins To Take Over Your Music And Becomes More Important, You Enter A Dangerous Place. Once You Have People Around You Who Don't Question You, You're In A Dangerous Place.

Some Kneel And Lie To God.

I Don't Think There Can Ever Be Too Many Messages About Aids. If You Stop The Education Process, Then People Are Going To Think The Problem Is All Over And Done With. They'll Think That It's Ok To Go And Have Sex Again. Education Is Essential, Especially Among Young People.

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

I Have No One To Leave The Money To. I'm A Single Man. I Like Spending My Money.

You Get The Same Equal Rights That We Do When We Have A Civil Partnership. Heterosexual People Get Married. We Can Have Civil Partnerships.

We Live In An Age, In An Era Where There Is So Much Negativity, There Is So Much Violence In The World, There Is So Much Unrest And People Are At War, That I Wanted To Promote The Word Love And Red Signifies Love.

Don't Show Up Around Here Until Your Social Worker's Helped.

Well, I've Had My Fair Share In Britain Of Battling The Tabloids.

My Mantra Is If You Raise Money, Don't Waste It.

So Excuse Me Forgetting, But These Things I Do You See I've Forgotten, If They're Green Or They're Blue Anyway, The Thing Is, What I Really Mean Yours Are The Sweetest Eyes, I've Ever Seen.

I've Got That Resilient Thing Inside Me. But I Wasn't A Happy Bunny.

If I Was To Say What I Am, I'd Be A Labour Man. I Like Tony Blair A Lot, I Think He's A Good Man. And In America I'd Definitely Be A Democrat; I'd Never Be A Republican.

I Am Totally Against The War But Violence Is Part Of Mankind And It's Going To Happen, But As Musicians I Think We've Got To Step Up And Say 'come On'.

It's Like Trying To Drink Whisky From A Bottle Of Wine.
