I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
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
Image
Songs are more powerful than books.
Elvis Costello
Image
When you work with new people, I think that it throws all of the matters into relief, because you have to explain yourself every time. It's like crossing a new border. They want to see your documents.
Elvis Costello
Image
I woke up and one of us was crying.
Elvis Costello
Image
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
Elvis Costello
Image
I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
Elvis Costello
Image
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
Image
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.

The cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty.
