Elton John on Boundaries

Pop singer Elton John told the German magazine Amica:

I am gay and wouldn't want to be heterosexual for all the money in the world….I've got enough money, don't have to follow any rules, don't have to be in the office from nine to five and take the kids to school in the morning. It is simply a fantastic life when you don't have any parameters. It's brilliant.
