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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I went to a mixed school and I can’t remember being bullied at school, ever. I was quite large, in those days. Usually, if you’re going to be a bully, you’ll pick on someone who is small. I didn’t bully anybody, and I don’t remember being bullied. Elton John Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you’re not going to get noticed. Elton John Read Quote
