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 hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

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 think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It's more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms.
