Цитаты Элтон Джон
„Я думаю, Иисус был сострадательным, сверхинтеллигентным геем, понимавшим человеческие проблемы. Будучи на кресте, он простил людей, распявших его. Иисус хотел, чтобы мы любили и прощали. Я не знаю, что делает людей такими жестокими. Попробуйте быть лесбиянкой на Ближнем Востоке — считайте, что вы труп.“

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.

„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.“
— Elton John
The Kate Bush Story (2014), Context: 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.“
— Elton John
The Kate Bush Story (2014), Context: 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.
On Kate's duet with Peter Gabriel on the song "Don’t Give Up", on his album So (1986)
„When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm,
I should have listened to my old man.“

„Now they've found me,
At last they've found me.
It's hard to run
From a starving family.
Now they've found me.
Well I won't run;
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun.“
— Elton John
Song lyrics, Tumbleweed Connection (1970), Ballad of a Well-Known Gun
„And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Time on my hands could be time spent with you,
Laughing like children, living like lovers,
Rolling like thunder under the covers.
And I guess that's why they call it the blues.“
— Elton John

Where the dogs of society howl.
You can't plant me in your penthouse,
I'm going back to my plough.“

I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain.
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye.
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes.“

Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away?
And every one of us that ever came to play
Has to cross the bridge or fade away.“

Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I.
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky.“

„And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed.
A gardener like that one, no one can replace. And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking most all the day.
Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, "Hey, Hey, Johnny"
"Can't you come out to play?"“
— Elton John
Song lyrics, Jump Up! (1982), Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)
