Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Bernie Taupin
- The worst thing about me is that I’ll buy albums and put them away on the shelf and forget that I’ve got them.
- One reason I quit doing interviews after years and years and years was because I was making things up.
- My mother’s father taught English literature. When I was about ten or eleven, I could recite Macaulay’s ‘Lays of Ancient Rome.’ While other kids were playing pedestrian war games, I’d be Horatius keeping the bridge.
- My Mother set me on the right track, Marty Robbins made me want to write songs, and Jesus Christ did the rest.
- My favorite thing is coming up with titles. The majority of the songs I’ve every written I’ve always thought of the title before I’ve written the song.
- Lincolnshire is the Idaho of England. You were either going to drive a tractor for the rest of your life or head for the city to work in a factory.
- Elton John’s home is laden with trinkets and books relating to Satanism and witchcraft.
- Early risers catch the world waking and see its true colors.
- Basically it takes me very little time to write a song. If I find myself taking more than an hour to do it I usually forget it, and try something else. I like to work quickly; I never like to waste any time. I never write half a song and come back to it later at all. It all has to be done at once. I lose interest if it doesn’t.
- I am a simple vessel with complex overtones, opinionated on occasions but willing to listen. Comfortable with reclusiveness and devoted to privacy and family. Patriotic to a fault and allergic to cruelty, ignorance and bad music.
