More quotes by Elton John
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.
Elton John
Ask anyone. If it hadn't been for Elvis, I don't know where popular music would be. He was the one that started it all off, and he was definitely the start of it for me.
Elton John
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
Elton John
I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before.
Elton John
I'd walk a million miles to give her what she needs. But she would walk a million more to do what she believes.
Elton John
I want a love that don't mean a thing.
Elton John
George W. Bush was passionate about AIDS. And we had a 10-minute talk at the interval of a concert at the Kennedy Center about AIDS. And I was astonished about how well-informed he was and his commitment to AIDS. And so it's the typical thing of don't judge a book by its cover until you have read the book.

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
I like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.
Elton John
I've got a great collection of photography.
Elton John
I'm the ultimate record fan. I still go out and buy records.
Elton John
I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing nappies, kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way.
Elton John
I am the most well-known homosexual in the world.
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
And the danger is - and it's happening - is we're seeing an incredibly big rise amongst young gay people, young heterosexual people as far as catching HIV, which is, you know, in an educated country like this or in Britain, it's frightening.
Elton John
Well, I've had my fair share in Britain of battling the tabloids.
Elton John
I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
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
It was also great to have the Backstreet Boys appear on stage with me because I have gotten to know them all a little bit just recently, and not only are they great performers, but they also very hard working professionals and really nice guys.
Elton John
