More quotes by Elton John
I'm lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to buy photographs and buy art that inspires me from day to day. I don't want a Picasso on my wall it's great art, but it's dead art to me. I'd rather have a photograph by someone I've never heard of that really inspires me.
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
I have an optimistic view of everything. You have to, otherwise you'd go nuts.
Elton John
When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.
Elton John
I've had my fills of cocaine and pills.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.
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
It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.
Elton John
My old man is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, but my old lady she don't care.
Elton John
I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
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
It's very important to have two tiaras when you're on the road. You never know when you'll be invited to something really formal.
Elton John
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
Elton John
As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.
Elton John
Rock and roll came in and changed my life and changed the whole music scene forever, and then I grew to love R&B and Motown and all black music, gospel music. But I never dismiss any form of music. I listen to everything.
Elton John
You and your oven are capable of great things,Remember, no two ovens are the same.
Elton John
I love to work. It fascinates me. And I love seeing who's coming up, who's got the charisma to last, who's got the intelligence to move on to other things. I'm so glad now that I'm stuck behind the piano, because when you're getting older it's very hard to waddle around the stage.
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
What we should be doing as musicians is trying to bring people together.
Elton John
