Why would I wear pink trousers? It`s hard enough being gay.

I have nothing to complain about... except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.

I`m a sex machine to both genders. It`s all very exhausting. I need a lot of sleep.

I don`t understand what he`s got against her because this is the second time he`s stuck into her a bit. That seems really unfair to me. Listen, any singer who dances all the time, you don`t have the breath to sing all the time. Everyone knows that. It`s unfair to make it a point. If you do a heavy dance routine, at some point you`re going to do a bit of lip-synch. But everybody does that. Madonna sings everything she can sing but, if she goes into a dance routine, she`s got to dance; you can`t breathe and dance and sing at the same time. She doesn`t lip-synch her whole performance. I bet Elton has lip-synched moments of his performance, even though he`s at a piano all the time. He`s very bossy these days, I think. I mean he`s lovely but he`s a bit bossy and he does seem a bit cranky.

I think Elton has lost it completely. He loves to tell you how he overcame addictions - drugs, bulimia... He did not overcome addictions. He went from one to another... All these shopping sprees, and not controlling his mouth.

English actors are treated like immigrants - they`re a gypsy race. They go where the work is and there`s never been much work in England. They`re treated very badly.

One of the great things about getting older is that unemployment becomes more and more fun.

[on Americans] Now they are whiny victims whose language is entirely taken from two TV shows - "Friends" (1994) and "Sex and the City" (1998) - and there`s nothing sexy about them any more.
