I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He’s got such a wicked sense of humor.

Moby’s remark frames celebrity friendship as something that can arise casually from industry social events rather than through long-standing personal ties. By emphasizing that they “just sort of became friends,” he downplays status and suggests an easy rapport. The praise of Elton John’s “wicked sense of humor” highlights a trait that cuts through public persona: humor as a marker of intelligence, warmth, and resilience, especially in entertainment circles where image-management is constant. The quote also functions as a small act of character testimony—Moby presenting Elton not primarily as an icon, but as someone enjoyable and sharp in private company.
