Elton John Quotes : pic 000262466
I've dodged so many bullets. Not just because of unsafe sex, but because of the amount of drugs I did, the amount of alcohol, the amount of work I was doing. I started the Elton John AIDS Foundation because I got so lucky. -- Elton John

And every day's a prize
And sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky -- Elton John

Elton John Quotes : pic 000527669
I don't think there can ever be too many messages about AIDS. If you stop the education process, then people are going to think the problem is all over and done with. They'll think that it's OK to go and have sex again. Education is essential, especially among young people. -- Elton John

Elton John Quotes : pic 000603492

Elton John Quotes : pic 000624086
We can't keep thinking of gay people as being ostracised; we can't keep thinking of Muslim people as being ostracised because of the fundamentalism that occurs in Islam. Muslim people have to do something about speaking up about it. We can't judge a book by its cover. -- Elton John
Elton John Quotes : pic 000634506

Elton John Quotes : pic 000739356

Elton John Quotes : pic 000811808
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
Elton John Quotes : pic 000823106
If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything. Songs will outlast the artist and they will go on for ever if they are good. -- Elton John

Elton John Quotes : pic 000874209
When I say I don't have to write pop songs anymore, there's no way I'm going to get on the radio at 60 years of age unless I'm doing a duet with Gaga or I was on 'All of the Lights,' which was a Kanye West record that managed to get on the radio. -- Elton John
Elton John Quotes : pic 000875475

Elton John Quotes : pic 000878513

Elton John Quotes : pic 000926341
