My influences are Alice in Chains and Elton John.
I've met Nicole Kidman, Elton John, loads of people.
Elton wanted a garden. They were building all afternoon while we were rehearsing. And then they built a fountain for Elton. And he said, I was only joking!
The only criticism heard with any frequency of Elton John's first American album, 'Elton John,' was that the production was too grandiose. The melodies were superb, and lyrics frequently very good, and the performances flawless.
We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song ou...
Elton John himself never seems pretentious but Bernie Taupin's lyrics often do - sometimes pretentious in a clever sort of way, but pretentious nonetheless. There is a conflict between Elton's and Bernie's personal styles, no doubt about it.
I dabbled a little bit in the whole music thing but I've always thought about Bernie Taupin, who is Elton John's lyricist; Elton John is the great melody and song writer but Bernie Taupin is the one who writes all the lyrics. I don't write lyrics, an...

Lawsuits should not be used to destroy a viable and independent distribution system. The solution lies in the marketplace and not the courtroom.
My inspirations include the Beatles - love, love, love them - Elton John, Carole King, and Stevie Wonder.
The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich.
I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.
...our witness, one Edward Littleton, was as gay as Elton John's handbag.
My big influences are piano artists like Billy Joel and Elton John.
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
I listen to Billy Joel. He is fabulous. I saw him with Elton John when they toured together, it was so great.
I'm more married to Sandy now than when we were married with the legal document. We're still married as parents.
Together with a team of financial and legal experts I have spent months exploring all possible alternatives to bankruptcy but to no avail.
