I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll.
Elton John
Image
I'm still as fascinated with the music business as ever. I'd love to do an electronic album like Prodigy or Underworld. I really like that sort of music.

Well, I've had my fair share in Britain of battling the tabloids.
Elton John

I've always been a fan, so my enthusiasm has always been great, but it's never going to be the same as it was from 1970 to 1975. You cannot repeat that, but you can get inspired by searching, by being mystified.
Elton John
Image
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
Image
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
Image
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you any more.
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.
