More quotes by Elton John
There's a time for everyone, If they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.
Elton John
I used to take hostages in my relationships and not let people be independent. It always ended in disaster, because you take away people's identity and they end up full of resentment.
Elton John
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.
Elton John
I'm a very wealthy man.
Elton John
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.
Elton John
We have a society where every hit maker and TV presenter is gay.
Elton John
I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose they should draw the line at goats, though.
Elton John
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Elton John
I'm lucky enough and wealthy enough to be able to buy photographs and buy art that inspires me from day to day. I don't want a Picasso on my wall it's great art, but it's dead art to me. I'd rather have a photograph by someone I've never heard of that really inspires me.
Elton John
Well, I'm a huge fan of Ryan Adams, who's from North Carolina. And he's beginning to break really quite big.
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
To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.
Elton John
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.
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
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 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 was sitting in the classroom trying to look intelligent in case the teacher looked at me.
Elton John
It's getting late have you seen my mates, Ma tell me when the boys get here, It's seven o'clock and I want to rock, Want to get a belly full of beer...
Elton John
I do work a lot. I mean, most of my income, I would say, comes from live performances. And then you've got publishing, you've got record royalties.
Elton John
I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.
