More quotes by Elvis Costello
[Commercial radio] is owned by one or two corporations now, and they're not in the music business. They're in the advertising business.... So let's not kid ourselves. If you want to hear music, go buy a guitar.
Elvis Costello
Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.
Elvis Costello
I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually.
Elvis Costello
They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.
Elvis Costello
What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.
Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
Elvis Costello
No use wishing now for any other sin.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains
Elvis Costello
I wish you luck with a capital F.
Elvis Costello
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.
Elvis Costello
Women hear rhythm differently than men.
Elvis Costello
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
Elvis Costello
The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
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
Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love.
Elvis Costello
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
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
