More quotes by 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
What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I'm gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.
Elton John
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
Elton John
I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
Elton John
You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
I don't think you can recreate anything from the past. You can not do it. If you're going to go out and imitate a Motown sound, you can't do it, it's impossible because of the studios and players involved and the atmosphere.
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
I don't whistle at you down the street. I would if I could, but I can't whistle you see.
Elton John
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.
Elton John
In the '50s you weren't taught about sex whatsoever. It was never just talked about. People used to snoop behind their curtains and look at the neighbors. And if a girl became pregnant in your part of the world, she was shipped off to the countryside.
Elton John
After claws and feathers, he took skin and bone, shaped it like an hour glass and made the angels moan.
Elton John
Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player!
Elton John
The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
Elton John
Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.
Elton John
At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
Elton John
Welcome to the world of bullshit, my dear. You have arrived.
Elton John
I've dodged so many bullets. Not just because of unsafe sex, but because of the amount of drugs I did, the amount of alcohol, the amount of work I was doing. I started the Elton John AIDS Foundation because I got so lucky.
Elton John
Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.
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
