Quote

You know, it's a very treatable disease. You shouldn't feel ashamed. But I'm afraid that's carried on very much so from the first days of AIDS, when it was basically a gay disease. And then, of course, you know, it affected everybody.

Shock waves to a tired brain, sends that hungry lady to my door again. She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain, entertaining white powder.
Elton John
Image
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.

It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.

They're [[harmaceuticals companies] just making a killing out of people's death. And they're benefiting by people's suffering. And I find that obscene. I find it ridiculous in this day and age, that that would happen. And it took President Clinton to go to rogue pharmaceutical companies to copy the antiretroviral drugs for a fraction of the cost.

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.

Welcome to the world of bullshit, my dear. You have arrived.

A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
Elton John
Image
I am totally against the war but violence is part of mankind and it's going to happen, but as musicians I think we've got to step up and say 'come on'.
Elton John
Image
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
Elton John
Image
If I was to say what I am, I'd be a Labour man. I like Tony Blair a lot, I think he's a good man. And in America I'd definitely be a Democrat I'd never be a Republican.
Elton John
Image
I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands

Oh teacher, I need you like a little child, you got something in you to drive a school boy wild.

I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.

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.

I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.
