More quotes by Elton John
Don't shoot me, I'm just the piano player!
Elton John
I'd walk a million miles to give her what she needs. But she would walk a million more to do what she believes.
Elton John
I'm 57, I can't look like a 30-year-old. You try to hold age at bay, but there comes a point when you just have to give up gracefully.
Elton John
I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll.
Elton John
And we have come so far like that. I mean, the advances on the medication side have been enormous, and the advances on the human side have been enormous. But we still have this stigma to get rid of, and then we really will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Elton John
I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
Elton John
Make this man a saint now, OK?
Elton John
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.
Elton John
I don't want a Jennifer Lopez wedding or anything like that. A commitment ceremony would be a nice thing to do.
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
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways.
Elton John
Instead of more violence why isn't there a [meeting of religious leaders]. It's all got to be dialogue - that's the only way. Get everybody from each religion together and say 'Listen, this can't go on. Why do we have all this hatred?'
Elton John
I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
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 love to work. It fascinates me. And I love seeing who's coming up, who's got the charisma to last, who's got the intelligence to move on to other things. I'm so glad now that I'm stuck behind the piano, because when you're getting older it's very hard to waddle around the stage.
Elton John
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear, you're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.
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
He [Ryan White] had a kind of angelic aura about him. And his family, too, it's like, they are going through all this suffering, and I'm living this Life of Riley and I'm complaining about everything, and they are living this horrific life and complaining about nothing.
Elton John
I grew up at my grandmother's house, and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid. I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens.
Elton John
Live for each second without hesitation
Elton John
