More quotes by Elton John
I'm going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can't just sit back it's not in my nature. I can't sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won't.
Elton John
I really don't need the public's money. I'd like to have something on the internet with charitable donation optional, where anyone can download my music for free.
Elton John
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine.
Elton John
People say, You should write lyrics and I say I'm quite happy not to, because I like being part of that process where you write your version of what someone else's lyrics are saying to you, and that enjoyment has never changed.
Elton John
I want a love that don't mean a thing.
Elton John
The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
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
You should never take more than you give
Elton John
Unless you show off you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
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
I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.
Elton John
Nothing should be an issue when it comes to sexuality in the first place. Music is the one artform where people feel comfortable coming out.
Elton John
Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.
Elton John
I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend [George Michael] - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans.
Elton John
Better to build a bridge than a wall.
Elton John
That's just a part of being an artist: you can't write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you'd be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.
Elton John
I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing nappies, kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way.
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
A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
