I Rarely Wear Tennis Shoes. I'm 5'

I Lived My Teenage Years In My 20s When I Sort Of Left Home And Became Elton John Success, Then It Became Elton John Excess... Everything I Couldn't Do When I Was Younger I Did 10 Times Over. I Was Having The Time Of My Life. I Was Becoming The Person That I Wanted To Be.

I Knew About Aids. My Friends Were Dying Right, Left, And Center. I Did A Record With Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, And Gladys Knight. I Did A Couple Of Benefits.

I Just Go Into The Studio, Look At The Lyrics For The First Time When I Put Them On The Piano, And Go. If I Haven't Got It Within 40 Minutes, I Give Up. It's Never Changed, The Thrill Has Never Gone, Because I Don't Know What I'm Going To Get Next.

I Don't Have A Computer. I Am The Luddite Of Rock'n'roll, I Don't Have A Portable Phone. I Write Things Down.

It's Much Too Late To Save Myself From Falling.
