More quotes by Elvis Costello
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
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
Elvis Costello
Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
Elvis Costello
My dad had a steady job with a really major dance band from '54 till '68, and then quit because he wanted to play different music. He wanted to sing about peace. He believed in these things.
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
I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
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
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
There are five things to write songs about: I'm leaving you. You're leaving me. I want you. You don't want me. I believe in something. Five subjects, and 12 notes. For all that, we musicians do pretty well.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
The people with the most resources are the federal government. If you can invade a country halfway across the world in a matter of days, you can surely come to the aid of your own citizens in a shorter order of time.
Elvis Costello
I'm not going to get too sentimental, like those other sticker valentines, 'cause I don't know if you are loving some body. I only know it isn't mine.
Elvis Costello
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.
Elvis Costello
I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
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
Life for me is about movement.
Elvis Costello
It's not crazy to want to have certain songs be developed harmonically and still want to make noise with the guitar. And you can have both.
Elvis Costello
I wish you luck with a capital F.
