Elton has said, 'I don't want my tombstone to say I sold millions of records. I'd like it to say I was a great dad and a loving husband'. So, I think the most important thing for Elton is family at this stage in his life. Not that he doesn't care about the music, he cares about it passionately. But what [has] satisfied his soul, I think, and brought him real comfort at this stage in his life, is what we have at home.
For me, when we got Elton's handwritten diaries that he'd completely forgotten [about], the amount of work he crammed in, and the passion that he did it [with]... when you read something like, 'Woke up in the morning, had breakfast, wrote 'Rocket Man', wrote two other songs, recorded vocals', all things in like a day - the insane passion and creativity that was coming out of him at that.
