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

More quotes by 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
Ask anyone. If it hadn't been for Elvis, I don't know where popular music would be. He was the one that started it all off, and he was definitely the start of it for me.
Elton John
And the stigma hasn't really changed that much in 31 years. You are still getting people - it's a shame-based disease. It's based on sexual transmission. And it's still shame-based. And until people feel strong enough and feel loved enough to actually open up and say, listen, I'm HIV-positive, then we are facing an uphill battle.
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 have no one to leave the money to. I'm a single man. I like spending my money.
Elton John
I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.
Elton John
I'm a very wealthy man.
Elton John
I've been following him since Space Oddity. And I've followed him from all those albums that didn't sell, like The Man Who Sold The World and things like that. Above all, apart from all the glamorous rubbish, the music's there. Ziggy Stardust is a classic album.
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.
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
I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
Elton John
And I'm afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust.
Elton John
Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot.
Elton John
I am totally against the war but violence is part of mankind and it's going to happen, but as musicians I think we've got to step up and say 'come on'.
Elton John
The French are useless. They can't organize a piss-up in a brewery.
Elton John
Getting paid for being laid, guess that's the name of the game.
Elton John
I've got a great collection of photography.
Elton John
Oh teacher, I need you like a little child, you got something in you to drive a school boy wild.
Elton John
To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
