“Live for each second without hesitation”
Elton John

“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.”
Elton John

“Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player!”
Elton John
