Quote

I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.

I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.

I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8', I hate being short.

I like Stevie Wonder. I usually wind up playing the same old tapes in the car.

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

I don't whistle at you down the street. I would if I could, but I can't whistle you see.
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.

I don't think you can recreate anything from the past. You can not do it. If you're going to go out and imitate a Motown sound, you can't do it, it's impossible because of the studios and players involved and the atmosphere.

When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.

I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll.

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

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.
Elton John

And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.

Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
Elton John

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees as an artist.

Top dog, top hat, move that muscle, move that fat.

Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.
Elton John

I do like my rock stars to be a little larger than life. I don't mind the earnest ones at all, but I do like a bit of individuality.
Elton John

And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.

I can't talk about - as eloquently as everyone else about a prevention or medicine or, you know, funding, but I can talk about the human element, which is the main part of AIDS, because it comes to the human being and how they are being treated, what medicines they are on and what medicines they are not on.

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.
