Once I'd heard 'Modern Times'...

Once I'd heard 'Modern Times' by Bob Dylan, it really changed the way I wanted to make records.

At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.

When people go to rehab and come out, they go through a difficult period, but I never had that.

As Elton John, my days on pop radio are over, and I know that and I accept it and I'm not unhappy about it.

I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.

Elton John 366 quotes

Everything I thought I'd hate...

Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all, and it's relaxed me.

Elton John 366 quotes

I'm a great lover of children...

I'm a great lover of children. I never thought that one day I'd actually be a father, but I'm very pleased that I changed my mind. Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.

I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.

Elton John 366 quotes

When Little Richard used to s...

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.

Elton John 366 quotes

When your persona begins to t...

When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

Elton John 366 quotes

I've never had a writer's block, but still I think: 'Is it going to happen this time?' You never know what you're going to get; you just put your fingers on the keys and hope.

Elton John 366 quotes

But you know, I have a pretty...

But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It's just when they step over the line that, you know, enough's enough.

Elton John 366 quotes

When I say I don't have to wr...

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 366 quotes

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.

Elton John 366 quotes

I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.

Elton John 366 quotes

I'd always lived with people ...

I'd always lived with people - my family, or had people living with me, because I'd never liked being on my own.

Elton John 366 quotes

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 366 quotes

I was just genuinely shy. I'd always been a shy kid.

Elton John 366 quotes

I'm lucky enough and wealthy ...

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 366 quotes

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you're able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.
