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 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.

I was sitting in the classroom trying to look intelligent in case the teacher looked at me.

There is such a thing as good interference from your record label. I don't think I get enough interference from my record label.
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.

Instead of more violence why isn't there a [meeting of religious leaders]. It's all got to be dialogue - that's the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say 'Listen, this can't go on. Why do we have all this hatred?'

That's just a part of being an artist: you can't write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you'd be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book.

Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.
Elton John

I grew up at my grandmother's house, and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid. I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens.

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

Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player!

I can't talk about - as eloquently as everyone else about a prevention or medicine or, you know, funding, but I can talk about the human element, which is the main part of AIDS, because it comes to the human being and how they are being treated, what medicines they are on and what medicines they are not on.
