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
I'm addicted to working. I mean, I have a list of 100 countries I want to play in. I'm basically killing myself by travelling so much, for no reason whatsoever.
Elton John
I've always been a fan, so my enthusiasm has always been great, but it's never going to be the same as it was from 1970 to 1975. You cannot repeat that, but you can get inspired by searching, by being mystified.
Elton John
I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.
Elton John
I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.
Elton John
After claws and feathers, he took skin and bone, shaped it like an hour glass and made the angels moan.

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 get upset when people knock hip-hop, because I can absolutely see the musicality in it. These days, when I'm listening to records by hip-hop artists, I hear the production. It's just astounding how great the productions have become.
Elton John
You and your oven are capable of great things,Remember, no two ovens are the same.
Elton John
In my 20s I was so ignorant about drugs, and so naive. I mean, my band was smoking marijuana for years I didn't even know what a joint was. And I'd never seen a line of cocaine in my life. And I don't know whether it was bravado or - OK, I'll join in. But my stupidity, I had a line of coke, and that started the whole process.
Elton John
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
George W. Bush was passionate about AIDS. And we had a 10-minute talk at the interval of a concert at the Kennedy Center about AIDS. And I was astonished about how well-informed he was and his commitment to AIDS. And so it's the typical thing of don't judge a book by its cover until you have read the book.
Elton John
And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.
Elton John
A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
Elton John
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
Elton John
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
