More quotes by Elton John
At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
Elton John
Live for each second without hesitation
Elton John
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.
Elton John
What we should be doing as musicians is trying to bring people together.
Elton John
I've had my fills of cocaine and pills.
Elton John
I spent the last week of Ryan's life in Indiana, Indianapolis, with Jeanne and Andrea, Jeanne, his mother, Andrea, his sister, and some other beautiful people who came. And it taught me a lesson.
Elton John
I didn't really know what I was until I came to America and I had sex [for the first time] in San Francisco in 1970. It was with someone of my own sex.
Elton John
I've always enjoyed and loved playing live. I relish and cherish it more than anything else because you never know what the performance is going to be.
Elton John
But actually, my drug addiction thing, I was so stubborn.
Elton John
You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.
Elton John
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
Elton John
I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands
Elton John
I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
Elton John
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.
Elton John
There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.
Elton John
Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.
Elton John
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
Elton John
I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.
Elton John
I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that was with a man. I made up for lost time after that in a hurry. I wish I could have had sex when I was, like, 14, 15 or 16 because that's such an exciting age to have sex.
Elton John
