More quotes by Elvis Costello
I woke up and one of us was crying.
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
Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love.
Elvis Costello
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
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
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
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
I mistrust these people in music industry who can be everybody. This is where technology dictates to them. I mistrust that, that in somehow the chips capture the soul of a player, that's patent nonsense.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
You need a platform upon which to release an orchestral record, otherwise it's just going to be an obscurity.
Elvis Costello
Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
Elvis Costello
Music is more like water than a rhinoceros. It doesn't charge madly down one path. It runs away in every direction.
Elvis Costello
The cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty.
