More quotes by Elton John
Welcome to the world of bullshit, my dear. You have arrived.
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
I'm 57, I can't look like a 30-year-old. You try to hold age at bay, but there comes a point when you just have to give up gracefully.
Elton John
Well, as I was saying... everyone's so nice to me, usually.
Elton John
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.
Elton John
I've got that resilient thing inside me. But I wasn't a happy bunny.
Elton John
I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
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 want a love that don't mean a thing.
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
I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.
Elton John
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.
Elton John
But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It's just when they step over the line that, you know, enough's enough.
Elton John
Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.
Elton John
Shock waves to a tired brain, sends that hungry lady to my door again. She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain, entertaining white powder.
Elton John
I'm addicted to working. I mean, I have a list of 100 countries I want to play in. I'm basically killing myself by travelling so much, for no reason whatsoever.
Elton John
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
I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.
Elton John
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.
Elton John
