I Get High In The Evening Sniffing

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.

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.

As A Child, As A Teenager, I Was Kind Of Not Allowed To Wear Fashionable Clothes.

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.

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.
