Rock and roll came in and changed my life and changed the whole music scene forever, and then I grew to love R&B and Motown and all black music, gospel music. But I never dismiss any form of music. I listen to everything.

Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man. Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand.

I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.
Elton John

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
Image
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
Image
I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.

Live for each second without hesitation
Elton John

I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
Elton John
Image
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
Elton John
Image
It's the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, 'till we find our place, on the path unwinding.

Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.

I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.
