Don't tell me you don't know what love is When you're old enough to know better.
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
Why'd you have to say that there's always someone who can do it better than I can And don't you think that I know that walkin' on water won't make me a miracle man
Elvis Costello
Image
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

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
Image
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing. And you start talking yourself out of the bold melody and start wanting to arrange it in another key or something. Maybe I just never learned my harmony part, because what everybody says sounds odd to them sounds perfectly natural to me.

I woke up and one of us was crying.

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
Image
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
Elvis Costello
Image
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
Image
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
Image
I'm drawing from two generations back how to think about music, how to think about why you travel to make music, what the possible pitfalls of that are for the way your life is structured. The good and bad of all of it get into the mix of what's created, what you're creating.

Life for me is about movement.
Elvis Costello
Image
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
Image
I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
Image
I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
Elvis Costello
Image
Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.

Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.

I wish you luck with a capital F.

I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
