Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.

I want a love that don't mean a thing.
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.

I've always been a fan, so my enthusiasm has always been great, but it's never going to be the same as it was from 1970 to 1975. You cannot repeat that, but you can get inspired by searching, by being mystified.

Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?

I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
Elton John
Image
Getting paid for being laid, guess that's the name of the game.
Elton John
Image
I have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground.

I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll.

You know, it's a very treatable disease. You shouldn't feel ashamed. But I'm afraid that's carried on very much so from the first days of AIDS, when it was basically a gay disease. And then, of course, you know, it affected everybody.

I'm going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can't just sit back it's not in my nature. I can't sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won't.
