Elvis Costello

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
Certain songs have been written years apart, but they have a natural continuity to my mind.
Elvis Costello
Image
I can write orchestrations, but I can't sight-read music and play at the same time. I don't have enough facility.
Elvis Costello
Image
Don't start me talking, I could talk all night. My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world right.
Elvis Costello
Image
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello

I wish you luck with a capital F.
