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 feel like a juggler running out of hands.
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.

Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
Elvis Costello
It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

Elvis Costello
You've got a chemistry class I want a piece of your mind You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine.
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
Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
Serious music usually doesn't pay.
Elvis Costello
Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.
Elvis Costello
There's so many people to see. So many people to check up on and add to your collection.
