More quotes by Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
No use wishing now for any other sin.
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
I used to be disgusted now I try to be amused.
Elvis Costello
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.
Elvis Costello
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello
They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.
Elvis Costello
It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
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
I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
Elvis Costello
Don't start me talking, I could talk all night. My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world right.
Elvis Costello
I wish you luck with a capital F.
Elvis Costello
Now I just don't know who to tell to go to hell Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?
Elvis Costello
You need a platform upon which to release an orchestral record, otherwise it's just going to be an obscurity.
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
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
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
There was not a lot of rock n roll in the house. Our parents didnt think it was very groovy, and I tend to agree with them. If you grew up with Charlie Parker, Bill Haley wasnt very hip.
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.
