I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

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.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
