1 " Live for each second without hesitation "
― Elton John
2 " I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead. "
3 " You know, I’ve got 1,000 candles in a closet in my home in Atlanta, and I suppose that is excessive. But I’ll tell you what: it’s the best-smelling closet you’ve ever been in in your life. "
― Elton John , Me
4 " I’m Eminem’s AA sponsor. Whenever I ring to check in on him, he always greets me the same way: ‘Hello, you cunt’, which I guess is very Eminem. "
5 " Candle In the WindAuthor: Bernie TauplinGoodbye Norma Jeane.Though I never knew you at all.You had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawled.And they crawled out of the woodwork,And they whispered into your brain,They set you on the treadmillAnd they made you change your name.And it seems to me you lived your lifeLike a candle in the wind,Never knowing who to cling toWhen the rain set in.And I would have liked to have known youBut I was just a kid,Your candle burned out long beforeYour legend ever did.Loneliness was tough.The toughest role you ever played.Hollywood created a superstarAnd pain was the price you paid.Even when you diedThe press still hounded you-All the paper had to sayWas that Marilyn was found in the nude.Goodbye Norma Jeane.Though I never knew you at all.You had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawled.Goodbye Norma Jeane.From the young man in the 22nd rowWho sees you as something more than sexual,More than just our Marilyn Monroe.

6 " It was insanity, but it sounded romantic. "
7 " ...only take as much as you give, in the circle of life. "
8 " Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player! "
9 " Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today. "
10 " You should never take more than you give "
11 " There’s really no point in asking what if? The only question worth asking is: what’s next? "
12 " 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. "
13 " Goodbye Norma JeanFrom the young man in the 22nd rowWho sees you as something more than sexualMore than just our Marilyn Monroe "
14 " I’ll not complain about your boring life, if you just leave me to mine "
― Elton John , Billy Elliot - Piano/Vocal Selections
15 " I couldn’t strut around like Mick Jagger, or smash my instrument up like Jimi Hendrix or Pete Townshend: bitter subsequent experience has taught me that if you get carried away and try and smash up a piano by pushing it offstage, you end up looking less like a lawless rock god and more like a furniture removal man having a bad day. "
16 " At first I stayed in a hotel – the Inn On The Park, the location for the famous story about me ringing the Rocket office and demanding they do something about the wind outside that was keeping me awake. This is obviously the ideal moment to state once and for all that this story is a complete urban myth, that I was never crazy enough to ask my record company to do something about the weather; that I was simply disturbed by the wind and wanted to change rooms to somewhere quieter. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that, because the story is completely true. "
17 " When stars collide, like you and I, no shadow blocks the sun" - The One "
― Elton John , Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002
18 " Like I said, sometimes a gut feeling is the most important thing; sometimes you have to trust fate. "
19 " You may still be standing, dear,’ it read, ‘but the rest of us are on the fucking floor. "
20 " There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex--they should draw the line at goats. "
