Elton John: I hate movies and books that show the rockstar as perfect people

“I believe that nostalgia can be a bit of a trap for an artist. It begins with the reminiscences of the good old times and see all through glasses with the pink lenses: in my case, I ask for indulgence, because very probably at the time I was wearing the glasses with the pink lenses with a lot of blinking lights and ostrich feathers. But if you fall into the trap, finish to convince you that in the past everything was better than today. If you start to think of him as an artist, you might as well give up the task of a composer of music, and retire”.
