“I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people. From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

Элтон Джон знаменитые цитаты
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.

Где горят газовые лампы
И ветер носит мусор
Вокруг рекламных щитов.“

Элтон Джон: Цитаты на английском языке
Original Sin
Song lyrics, Songs from the West Coast (2001)
The Kate Bush Story (2014)
Контексте: They're not "normal" songs. None of her songs have been "normal." She's just who she is, she's unique. She's — a mystery. She's the most beautiful mystery. … Let me tell you a story: when I had my civil partnership, nine years ago, in 2005, and Kate — we invited Kate, we didn't think she'd come but she came, she came with her husband Danny, and there were a lot of very famous people in that room, there were like 600 people — and all anybody wanted to meet was Kate Bush. I mean, musician, anybody — they couldn't believe Kate Bush was there. She's kind of an enigma.
“That record she did with Peter Gabriel saved my life.”
On Kate's duet with Peter Gabriel on the song "Don’t Give Up", on his album So (1986)
The Kate Bush Story (2014)
Контексте: That record she did with Peter Gabriel saved my life. That record helped me get sober. So she played a big part in my actual downfall and kind of "rebirth'" as it were. That record helped me so much. I never told her that, but it did.
