More quotes by Elton John
But until we get rid of that shame, then people are going to stay underground, they are not going to get tested, and we're facing an uphill battle [with AIDS].
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
We have come so far. It's become a real bipartisan cause, which I'm very happy to see. And in the case of America, and it's - certainly, without America, we'd be facing catastrophe.
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 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
Rock and roll came in and changed my life and changed the whole music scene forever, and then I grew to love R&B and Motown and all black music, gospel music. But I never dismiss any form of music. I listen to everything.
Elton John
Don't judge the picture by the frame, every man is not the same
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
Well, as I was saying... everyone's so nice to me, usually.
Elton John
I really don't need the public's money. I'd like to have something on the internet with charitable donation optional, where anyone can download my music for free.
Elton John
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put into words, how wonderful life is, now you're in the world.
Elton John
To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.
Elton John
I'd walk a million miles to give her what she needs. But she would walk a million more to do what she believes.
Elton John
A great editor is the most valuable thing you can have as an artist because, as you said, sometimes you get too close to something. I think, apart from your talent, that's why you have the career you have - because you have great people behind you.
Elton John
And these [pharmaceutical] companies are still threatening to sue. And it's like, you know, do you not have a conscience? Do you not want the world to be a better place? You're still making a profit. How much more of a profit do you want to make?
Elton John
I do work a lot. I mean, most of my income, I would say, comes from live performances. And then you've got publishing, you've got record royalties.
Elton John
Shock waves to a tired brain, sends that hungry lady to my door again. She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain, entertaining white powder.
Elton John
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
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
What we should be doing as musicians is trying to bring people together.
Elton John
