Elvis Costello
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.
Elvis Costello
Women hear rhythm differently than men.
Elvis Costello
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.
