More quotes by Elton John
I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
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 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.
Elton John
And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.
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
Chefs aren't celebrities: they're chefs.
Elton John
I get upset when people knock hip-hop, because I can absolutely see the musicality in it. These days, when I'm listening to records by hip-hop artists, I hear the production. It's just astounding how great the productions have become.
Elton John
I'm the ultimate record fan. I still go out and buy records.
Elton John
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.
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
My mother encouraged me and was very great about me being gay, but she always encouraged me to follow my musical dreams, which I'm very grateful for.
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
Oh teacher, I need you like a little child, you got something in you to drive a school boy wild.
Elton John
I'm a very wealthy man.
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
Cocaine made me talk forever. The most nonsensical rubbish that you could ever think of.
Elton John
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
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
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.
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
