More From Elton John

Really it's all about what's inside the superman suit. how you feel about yourself when you put that on because it's very revealing and very imposing if worn with confidence, i suppose. the first time i wore it, i didn't have that as much. i hadn't really trained any, yet. i hadn't read the script, i hadn't really worked on the character at that point. and i was standing around with a room full of costume designers and everybody was judging me right away and going, "don't make your judgment on it, if this is superman quite yet or not," because i hadn't done all the work that i would later do.

When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. just remember that. but if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. you keep going on stage, you go forward. every night you go on stage.

Beautiful Past Order
It was like mama suddenly realized i was good, that she didn't have to apologize for me. it was the strangest feeling. one minute i was on stage with my mother, the next moment i was on stage with judy garland. one minute she smiled at me, and the next minute she was like the lioness that owned the stage and suddenly found somebody invading her territory. the killer instinct of a performer had come out in her.
Mother Feelings Lioness
Maybe he hadn't thought the war through. it had seemed like simple fun when he had first pictured it, with a glorious beginning, a difficult but valor-filled middle, and a victorious end. he hadn't accounted for the fact that there might not be much of a resolution to the battle, and he hadn't imagined what it would feel like when the war just sort of ended, without anyone admitting defeat and congratulating him for his bravery.
Fun War Simple
Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure.
