More quotes by Elton John
If I was to say what I am, I'd be a Labour man. I like Tony Blair a lot, I think he's a good man. And in America I'd definitely be a Democrat I'd never be a Republican.
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
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 think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose they should draw the line at goats, though.
Elton John
I really don't need the public's money. I'd like to have something on the internet with charitable donation optional, where anyone can download my music for free.
Elton John
I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.
Elton John
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.
Elton John
Chefs aren't celebrities: they're chefs.
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 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
I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
Elton John
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.
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'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
What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I'm gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.
Elton John
I grew up at my grandmother's house, and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid. I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens.
Elton John
There ain't been no angels in heaven around since God invented girls.
Elton John
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
Elton John
I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that was with a man. I made up for lost time after that in a hurry. I wish I could have had sex when I was, like, 14, 15 or 16 because that's such an exciting age to have sex.
Elton John
They [sic] ain't gonna stop me from coming here, baby.
Elton John
