I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused.
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
Elvis Costello
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me. I wanna bite that hand so badly. I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.
Elvis Costello
Songs are more powerful than books.
Elvis Costello
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
Elvis Costello
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
Elvis Costello
It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.
Elvis Costello
