Elton John

The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.

I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

One of the first things I learned about acting was, the only person you compete against is yourself.

Influenced by Pete Seeger and the Weavers, McLean proudly wore the mantle of troubadour in the early 1970s, when 'American Pie' topped the Billboard charts, and has never shed the cape.
