More quotes by Elvis Costello
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters, and a German sense of humour.
Elvis Costello
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
Elvis Costello
I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
I woke up and one of us was crying.
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
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
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 feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
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
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
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
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Elvis Costello
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
It's the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.
Elvis Costello
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
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
