Elton John's best quotes cover his thoughts on being gay, his past mistakes and what he's always wanted to do, but never got to. He also talks about his thoughts of Hillary Clinton, Britney Spears and Madonna. Here are the top ten quotes by Elton John.

Hillary Rodham Clinton for President

"There is no-one more qualified to lead America. I'm amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country, and I say to hell with them. I love you Hillary, I'll be there for you."

Elton John is gay. Oh, you already know that. Ah, but do you know a more famous gay guy than I?

"I am the most well-known homosexual in the world."

Elton John quote onBritney Spears

"I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records."

Dogs; that's one thing. But goats; that's where it has to stop.

"I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats though."

Elton John quote on his past

"I've dodged so many bullets. Not just because of unsafe sex, but because of the amount of drugs I did, the amount of alcohol, the amount of work I was doing. I started the Elton John AIDS Foundation because I got so lucky."

Fodder

"Nowadays, record companies want the quick buck from the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, S Club 7, Steps. They've always been around, I'm not knocking the music perhaps, but it's like packets of cereal. There are too many of them, too many of them are just mediocre. And I think it damages real people's chance, real talent, of getting airplay. It's just fodder."

Madonna should be shot

"Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot. That's me off her Christmas card list. But do I give a toss? No."

What Elton John has always wanted to do and never got to

"I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with a piano."

To everything there is an end

"Every artist who makes it goes through a period where it seems they're invincible. We've seen it with Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna and Prince. It just seems like they can't fail. And then suddenly everything levels off. I knew it when it started happening to me. I was really tired, I knew I was peaking. I knew it was time for someone else to take over. You have to be realistic about these things."

Quote on the danger of fame

"Fame attracts lunatics. Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, all dead. Two of them shot outside their houses. None of this would have happened if they hadn't been famous. I never had a bodyguard, ever, until Gianni died."
