Если бы мои ранние альбомы не оказались столь успешны и я бы не стал так знаменит, вероятно, я бы и дальше был музыкантом. У меня никогда не было намерений создать бренд: Элтон Джон. Я был вынужден выпускать пластинки. А я всегда хотел быть просто автором песен. После того, как я ушел из группы, я стал сотрудничать с Берни, и мы писали песни для других людей, что было крайне безуспешно. В то же время мы писали песни для самих себя, которые нам нравились, и они оказались удачными. Я был вынужден записывать диски, потому что никто не хотел работать с нашими песнями. Таким образом, все произошло отчасти случайно.
В настоящее время звукозаписывающие компании бросят вас после одного или двух альбомов. Они хотят быстрой наживы. Они не видят возможных перспектив артиста. Их девиз: 'Давайте возьмем кого-нибудь, кто выиграл 'Фабрику звезд', и сделаем на нем деньги'. Востребованы только молодые исполнители. Когда я был молод, мне были нужны наставники, которые бы указали мне верный путь. Я нуждался в тех, кто бы вложил деньги в мои первые 3-4 альбома, пока я не созрею до уровня опытного артиста.
