More quotes by Elvis Costello
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
Elvis Costello
I've never had any real concern about posterity. I hope some people will be sorry when I'm not here, but I'm not playing for that.
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
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone.
Elvis Costello
Songs are more powerful than books.
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
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
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
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Elvis Costello
When in doubt, play track 4 - it is usually the one you want.
Elvis Costello
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
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 find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
Elvis Costello
I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
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
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.
Elvis Costello
Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.
Elvis Costello
When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.
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
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
