More quotes by Elton John
If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.
Elton John
A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
Elton John
I grew up at my grandmother's house, and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid. I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens.
Elton John
We have a society where every hit maker and TV presenter is gay.
Elton John
Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player!
Elton John
That's just a part of being an artist: you can't write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you'd be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.
Elton John
I do like my rock stars to be a little larger than life. I don't mind the earnest ones at all, but I do like a bit of individuality.
Elton John
After claws and feathers, he took skin and bone, shaped it like an hour glass and made the angels moan.
Elton John
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine.
Elton John
I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
Elton John
I am the most well-known homosexual in the world.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
I can't talk about - as eloquently as everyone else about a prevention or medicine or, you know, funding, but I can talk about the human element, which is the main part of AIDS, because it comes to the human being and how they are being treated, what medicines they are on and what medicines they are not on.
Elton John
Rock and roll came in and changed my life and changed the whole music scene forever, and then I grew to love R&B and Motown and all black music, gospel music. But I never dismiss any form of music. I listen to everything.
Elton John
Don't judge the picture by the frame, every man is not the same
Elton John
Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers, and I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Elton John
I'm lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to buy photographs and buy art that inspires me from day to day. I don't want a Picasso on my wall it's great art, but it's dead art to me. I'd rather have a photograph by someone I've never heard of that really inspires me.
Elton John
Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot.
Elton John
To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.
Elton John
I don't think you can recreate anything from the past. You can not do it. If you're going to go out and imitate a Motown sound, you can't do it, it's impossible because of the studios and players involved and the atmosphere.
Elton John
