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
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
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you any more.
Elton John
In my 20s I was so ignorant about drugs, and so naive. I mean, my band was smoking marijuana for years I didn't even know what a joint was. And I'd never seen a line of cocaine in my life. And I don't know whether it was bravado or - OK, I'll join in. But my stupidity, I had a line of coke, and that started the whole process.
Elton John
My old man is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, but my old lady she don't care.
Elton John
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.
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
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.
Elton John
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
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
Holy Moses, let us live in peace. Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease. There's a man over there, what's his colour I don't care, he's my brother, let us live in peace.
Elton John
I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.
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
The Backstreet Boys can sing their asses off. I'm not so sure about those other boy bands. But Backstreet Boys have my ultimate respect.
Elton John
The less I say the more my work gets done.
Elton John
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
Elton John
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.
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
Don't let the sun go down on me.
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
