The Internet is overrated. It's much smaller an innovation than people think it is. I don't think it's changed the way anybody makes music.
Elvis Costello

Women hear rhythm differently than men.
Elvis Costello

The people with the most resources are the federal government. If you can invade a country halfway across the world in a matter of days, you can surely come to the aid of your own citizens in a shorter order of time.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
Image
It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
Elvis Costello
Image
Don't start me talking, I could talk all night. My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world right.
Elvis Costello
Image
It's not crazy to want to have certain songs be developed harmonically and still want to make noise with the guitar. And you can have both.
Elvis Costello
Image
The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.
Elvis Costello
Image
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
Image
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello
Image
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions And I'm giving you a longing look Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book.
Elvis Costello
Image
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.

Life for me is about movement.
