More quotes by Elton John
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I.
Elton John
And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.
Elton John
A great editor is the most valuable thing you can have as an artist because, as you said, sometimes you get too close to something. I think, apart from your talent, that's why you have the career you have - because you have great people behind you.
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 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
Better to build a bridge than a wall.
Elton John
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put into words, how wonderful life is, now you're in the world.
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
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.
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 want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
Elton John
As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.
Elton John
I tour as many countries as possible, and I've toured every state in America, plus every province in Canada.
Elton John
Cocaine made me talk forever. The most nonsensical rubbish that you could ever think of.
Elton John
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.
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
I've been following him since Space Oddity. And I've followed him from all those albums that didn't sell, like The Man Who Sold The World and things like that. Above all, apart from all the glamorous rubbish, the music's there. Ziggy Stardust is a classic album.
Elton John
Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers, and I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Elton John
Holy Moses, let us live in peace. Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease. There's a man over there, what's his colour I don't care, he's my brother, let us live in peace.
Elton John
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
Elton John
