Elton John Interview from German magazine (3)
Q: And how do you get to know girls?
A. No problem, as long as I'm a popstar. They pursue me. But I don't like groupies anymore. And I also do not want to fall in love. My first and only big love was a disaster.
Q: What do you think about Billy Jean King? One sees you often together.
A: We are very good friends. I play myself very well and with very much pleasure tennis. Last year I went to Wimbledon. And there I got to know her. Since that time we have often played together. She even came to four concerts of my US tour. There she sung and I played tennis. I have written a hit for her. It's called "Philadelphia Freedom".
Q: Everyone who knows you thinks you're very friendly. Do you also have bad habits?
A: Of course. I am incredibly headstrong. If I am wrong and I know it exactly, I cannot admit it nevertheless. Then I chew for days in my stiff sense. Then I am too ebullient, I very often act from the moment. And I am too impatient.
Q: And what do you like about yourself?
A: I have an immense militancy. I must win, otherwise my ambition is not satisfied. It's the same for Billie Jean King and Mohammed Ali. The greater the challenge, the better the victory.
...and that's all!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it...
