“Forget the fucking Dalai Lama. It’s a fucking joke. The Dalai Lama is all about, supposedly, peace. Now, I love the idea of that. We all would love to have peace. I have contributed to things that the Dalai Lama has been involved with, like there’s Trudie Styler, my friend, Sting’s wife, who does this Tibetan Peace Garden in London, which is a great idea. But you know, in times of war and times of aggravation, where is this peacemaking man when you need him? Fucking nowhere to be seen. And that says it all. Fucking asshole.” — Elton John, hopefully being sedated as we speak, via the superfine brandhast.
