More quotes by 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
People with HIV are still stigmatized. The infection rates are going up. People are dying. The political response is appalling. The sadness of it, the waste.
Elton John
I want a love that don't mean a thing.
Elton John
I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It's like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don't really feel that part until I'm into whatever I'm going to wear.
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
And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.
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
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 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
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
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'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly.
Elton John
The French are useless. They can't organize a piss-up in a brewery.
Elton John
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
Elton John
And I agreed with that, and I couldn't wait to change my name anyway, because I'm not too fond of the name of Reginald. It's a very kind of '50s English name.
Elton John
I mean, Sting is one of my great buddies and I love him to death.
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 can't talk about - as eloquently as everyone else about a prevention or medicine or, you know, funding, but I can talk about the human element, which is the main part of AIDS, because it comes to the human being and how they are being treated, what medicines they are on and what medicines they are not on.
Elton John
I've had my fills of cocaine and pills.
Elton John
And these [pharmaceutical] companies are still threatening to sue. And it's like, you know, do you not have a conscience? Do you not want the world to be a better place? You're still making a profit. How much more of a profit do you want to make?
Elton John
