Elton John just celebrated his 60
th birthday and
The Sun published 60 of his most famous quotes to fête him. Here are some of the best:
On Hear’Say: “They have to be the ugliest band I’ve ever seen. If you’re going to have a boy band or a girl band then they’ve got to be good-looking. The guy Danny looks like Shrek. I feel sorry for them.”
On Grammys, while reviewing a Stevie Wonder video on a kids’ TV show: “Grammys only go to disabled people.”
On Madonna’s victory at the Q Awards in 2004: “Madonna Best Live Act? Since when has lip-synching been live? Anyone who lip-synchs on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot. That’s me off her f***ing Christmas card list, but do I give a toss? No.”
On George W Bush: “The worst thing that has ever happened to America.”
On the Diana Memorial Fountain: “It’s purely ugly. It looks like a sewer.”
On the present he would give Liza Minnelli to celebrate her 2002 wedding to David Gest: “A heterosexual husband.”
On aggression: “I’ve always wanted to smash a guitar over someone’s head. You just can’t do that with a piano.”
On spending £2million in a month: “I’m not a nest-egg person.”
And this one takes the cake:
On sex: “There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex – they should draw the line at goats.”
