I love to work. It fascinates me. And I love seeing who's coming up, who's got the charisma to last, who's got the intelligence to move on to other things. I'm so glad now that I'm stuck behind the piano, because when you're getting older it's very hard to waddle around the stage.

Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot.
Elton John
Image
I used to take hostages in my relationships and not let people be independent. It always ended in disaster, because you take away people's identity and they end up full of resentment.
Elton John

I like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.
Elton John

The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
Elton John

I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.
Elton John
Image
People with HIV are still stigmatized. The infection rates are going up. People are dying. The political response is appalling. The sadness of it, the waste.
Elton John

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.

I'm cold as a razor blade, inches from madness.
