Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
Elvis Costello
Image
I became an altar boy because of the solemn face, but I got thrown out at fourteen for laughing. Because the priest used to mumble everything except the church plate takings.
Elvis Costello
Image
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
Image
People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.
Elvis Costello
Image
I mistrust these people in music industry who can be everybody. This is where technology dictates to them. I mistrust that, that in somehow the chips capture the soul of a player, that's patent nonsense.
Elvis Costello

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
