More quotes by 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'm the ultimate record fan. I still go out and buy records.
Elton John
I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before.
Elton John
We have a society where every hit maker and TV presenter is gay.
Elton John
I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
Elton John
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine.
Elton John
Unless you show off you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
Oh teacher, I need you like a little child, you got something in you to drive a school boy wild.
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
At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
Elton John
You know, it's a very treatable disease. You shouldn't feel ashamed. But I'm afraid that's carried on very much so from the first days of AIDS, when it was basically a gay disease. And then, of course, you know, it affected everybody.
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
I like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.
Elton John
Getting paid for being laid, guess that's the name of the game.
Elton John
Don't judge the picture by the frame, every man is not the same
Elton John
The world is near escalating to World War Three and where are the leaders of each religion? Why aren't they having a conclave why aren't they coming together?
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
I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.
Elton John
Cocaine made me talk forever. The most nonsensical rubbish that you could ever think of.
Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
