More quotes by Elton John

Elton John
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
Elton John
It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.
Elton John

Elton John
An agent is a person who is sore because an actor gets 90% of what they make.
Elton John

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
After claws and feathers, he took skin and bone, shaped it like an hour glass and made the angels moan.
Elton John
If you're stuck at piano and you're not a lead guitarist or a lead vocalist, you're kind of at a nine-foot plank then and you should do something about it.
Elton John
I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.
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 these [pharmaceutical] companies are still threatening to sue. And it's like, you know, do you not have a conscience? Do you not want the world to be a better place? You're still making a profit. How much more of a profit do you want to make?
Elton John
I've got a great collection of photography.
Elton John
Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.
Elton John
It's getting late have you seen my mates, Ma tell me when the boys get here, It's seven o'clock and I want to rock, Want to get a belly full of beer...
Elton John
