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.

More quotes by Elton John
I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.
Elton John
Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man. Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand.
Elton John
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.
Elton John
And there's no guarantee that if you get HIV and you take these triple therapies, or whatever comes along next, that they're going to be successful for you.
Elton John
To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.
Elton John
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I.
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
I've had my fills of cocaine and pills.
Elton John
I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It's like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don't really feel that part until I'm into whatever I'm going to wear.
Elton John
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
Elton John
I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.
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
Don't show up around here until your social worker's helped.
Elton John
It's the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, 'till we find our place, on the path unwinding.
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
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
An agent is a person who is sore because an actor gets 90% of what they make.
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
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
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.
Elton John
