More quotes by Elton John
My old man is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, but my old lady she don't care.
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
I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.
Elton John
He [Ryan White] had a kind of angelic aura about him. And his family, too, it's like, they are going through all this suffering, and I'm living this Life of Riley and I'm complaining about everything, and they are living this horrific life and complaining about nothing.
Elton John
Instead of more violence why isn't there a [meeting of religious leaders]. It's all got to be dialogue - that's the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say 'Listen, this can't go on. Why do we have all this hatred?'
Elton John
I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose they should draw the line at goats, though.
Elton John
I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend [George Michael] - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans.
Elton John
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear, you're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.
Elton John
I heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it. I didn't ever want to be anything else. I just started banging away and semi-studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music but sort of half-heartedly.
Elton John
Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.
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
And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.
Elton John
It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.
Elton John
I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.
Elton John
It's getting late have you seen my mates, Ma tell me when the boys get here, It's seven o'clock and I want to rock, Want to get a belly full of beer...
Elton John
Live for each second without hesitation
Elton John
If I was to say what I am, I'd be a Labour man. I like Tony Blair a lot, I think he's a good man. And in America I'd definitely be a Democrat I'd never be a Republican.
Elton John
I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing nappies, kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way.
Elton John
You can cage the songbird, but you can't make her sing. And you can trap the free bird, but you'll have to clip her wings.
Elton John
Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all and it's relaxed me.
