More quotes by Elton John
I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.
Elton John
I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
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
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
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 like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.
Elton John
I tour as many countries as possible, and I've toured every state in America, plus every province in Canada.
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
I've been following him since Space Oddity. And I've followed him from all those albums that didn't sell, like The Man Who Sold The World and things like that. Above all, apart from all the glamorous rubbish, the music's there. Ziggy Stardust is a classic album.
Elton John
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.
Elton John
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
Elton John
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
I didn't really know what I was until I came to America and I had sex [for the first time] in San Francisco in 1970. It was with someone of my own sex.
Elton John
If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.
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
There is such a thing as good interference from your record label. I don't think I get enough interference from my record label.
Elton John
But actually, my drug addiction thing, I was so stubborn.
Elton John
I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.
Elton John
We have a society where every hit maker and TV presenter is gay.
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.
