I've met Nicole Kidman, Elton John, loads of people.
My influences are Alice in Chains and Elton John.
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 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!
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...
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.
Elton John's opinion turned the label's opinion around, all in a day.
My inspirations include the Beatles - love, love, love them - Elton John, Carole King, and Stevie Wonder.
Alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical drugs are legal, but they can hurt a lot of people.
As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.
It feels quite cool, in a mad way, to be someone who skulks about in the shadows.
I'm a big fan of piano-based rock music like Elton John, Ben Folds, and even Queen.
Lawsuits should not be used to destroy a viable and independent distribution system. The solution lies in the marketplace and not the courtroom.
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.
Oh, yeah, I've always thought of covering some of my influences like Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder.
My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
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.
Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.
...our witness, one Edward Littleton, was as gay as Elton John's handbag.
