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.

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.

The man with a new idea is a Crank until the idea succeeds.

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