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.

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.
