More quotes by Elvis Costello
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant, someone who disrupts the daily drag of life just enough to leave the victim thinking there's maybe more to it all than the mere hum-drum quality of existence.
Elvis Costello
I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused.
Elvis Costello
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
Elvis Costello
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
Elvis Costello
I'm drawing from two generations back how to think about music, how to think about why you travel to make music, what the possible pitfalls of that are for the way your life is structured. The good and bad of all of it get into the mix of what's created, what you're creating.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
Elvis Costello
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
Elvis Costello
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters, and a German sense of humour.
Elvis Costello
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
Elvis Costello
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
Elvis Costello
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
Elvis Costello
I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
Anything that has to travel all the way down from your cerebellum to your fingertips, there's a lot of things that can happen on the journey. Sometimes I'll listen to records, my own stuff, and I think god, the original idea for this was so much better than the mutation that we arrived at.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
I woke up and one of us was crying.
Elvis Costello
My dad had a steady job with a really major dance band from '54 till '68, and then quit because he wanted to play different music. He wanted to sing about peace. He believed in these things.
Elvis Costello
