More quotes by Elton John

Elton John
Getting paid for being laid, guess that's the name of the game.
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
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
There ain't been no angels in heaven around since God invented girls.
Elton John
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.
Elton John
Instead of more violence why isn't there a [meeting of religious leaders]. It's all got to be dialogue - that's the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say 'Listen, this can't go on. Why do we have all this hatred?'
Elton John
I've got that resilient thing inside me. But I wasn't a happy bunny.
Elton John

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.
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
Basically, I wanted redemption for the way I lived my life beforehand, and that was the drugs, the drink, the loose sex, whatever.
Elton John
I heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it. I didn't ever want to be anything else. I just started banging away and semi-studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music but sort of half-heartedly.
Elton John
Cocaine made me talk forever. The most nonsensical rubbish that you could ever think of.
Elton John
I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
Elton John
You can cage the songbird, but you can't make her sing. And you can trap the free bird, but you'll have to clip her wings.
Elton John
People say, You should write lyrics and I say I'm quite happy not to, because I like being part of that process where you write your version of what someone else's lyrics are saying to you, and that enjoyment has never changed.
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
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
