More quotes by 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 had a little Richard and that black piano, oh that sweet Georgia Peach, and the boy form Tupelo.
Elton John
And the stigma hasn't really changed that much in 31 years. You are still getting people - it's a shame-based disease. It's based on sexual transmission. And it's still shame-based. And until people feel strong enough and feel loved enough to actually open up and say, listen, I'm HIV-positive, then we are facing an uphill battle.
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
They're [[harmaceuticals companies] just making a killing out of people's death. And they're benefiting by people's suffering. And I find that obscene. I find it ridiculous in this day and age, that that would happen. And it took President Clinton to go to rogue pharmaceutical companies to copy the antiretroviral drugs for a fraction of the cost.
Elton John
There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.
Elton John
To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.
Elton John
I don't think you can recreate anything from the past. You can not do it. If you're going to go out and imitate a Motown sound, you can't do it, it's impossible because of the studios and players involved and the atmosphere.
Elton John
He [Ryan White] had a kind of angelic aura about him. And his family, too, it's like, they are going through all this suffering, and I'm living this Life of Riley and I'm complaining about everything, and they are living this horrific life and complaining about nothing.
Elton John
To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.
Elton John
I'm lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to buy photographs and buy art that inspires me from day to day. I don't want a Picasso on my wall it's great art, but it's dead art to me. I'd rather have a photograph by someone I've never heard of that really inspires me.
Elton John
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
Elton John
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
Elton John
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear, you're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.
Elton John
I am totally against the war but violence is part of mankind and it's going to happen, but as musicians I think we've got to step up and say 'come on'.
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
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 tour as many countries as possible, and I've toured every state in America, plus every province in Canada.
Elton John
And I'm afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust.
Elton John
I don't want a Jennifer Lopez wedding or anything like that. A commitment ceremony would be a nice thing to do.
Elton John
