Quote

I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.

If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for? If He can't hear the children, then he must see the war.

There's a time for everyone, If they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.

I don't want a Jennifer Lopez wedding or anything like that. A commitment ceremony would be a nice thing to do.

I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that was with a man. I made up for lost time after that in a hurry. I wish I could have had sex when I was, like, 14, 15 or 16 because that's such an exciting age to have sex.
Elton John

There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.

I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.

And we have come so far like that. I mean, the advances on the medication side have been enormous, and the advances on the human side have been enormous. But we still have this stigma to get rid of, and then we really will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm still as fascinated with the music business as ever. I'd love to do an electronic album like Prodigy or Underworld. I really like that sort of music.
Elton John

Well, as I was saying... everyone's so nice to me, usually.

I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.

I'd walk a million miles to give her what she needs. But she would walk a million more to do what she believes.

I want a love that don't mean a thing.

What we should be doing as musicians is trying to bring people together.
Elton John

...I'm so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It's not pretty, it's not pleasant, it's not exciting. Please stop it now.
Elton John

I like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.
Elton John
Image
I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.
Elton John

When I say I don't have to write pop songs anymore, there's no way I'm going to get on the radio at 60 years of age unless I'm doing a duet with [Lady] Gaga or I was on All of the Lights, which was a Kanye West record that managed to get on the radio.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.

They're [[harmaceuticals companies] just making a killing out of people's death. And they're benefiting by people's suffering. And I find that obscene. I find it ridiculous in this day and age, that that would happen. And it took President Clinton to go to rogue pharmaceutical companies to copy the antiretroviral drugs for a fraction of the cost.
