More quotes by Elvis Costello
The cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty.
Elvis Costello
It's a petty thing, but I wouldn't join the Scouts when I was a kid, 'cause you had to swear allegiance to the queen. I'm just not a royalist. I think it's idiotic, a hereditary principle.
Elvis Costello
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
Elvis Costello
Life for me is about movement.
Elvis Costello
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.
Elvis Costello
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.
Elvis Costello
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
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
As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity, I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There's one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love, & Understanding?
Elvis Costello
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.
Elvis Costello
When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.
Elvis Costello
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.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up.
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
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
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness.
Elvis Costello
You must hold on to the sort of finger-painting aspect of music. That's something I learned, particularly from listening to Neil Young. Tom Waits is another one, because Tom's music is incredibly sophisticated and beautifully arranged, but he's using a toolbox that's unlike anybody else's.
