More quotes by Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
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
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
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
Elvis Costello
I wish you luck with a capital F.
Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
Elvis Costello
Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
Elvis Costello
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
Elvis Costello
The cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty.
Elvis Costello
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Elvis Costello
I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...
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
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
It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it.
Elvis Costello
You must hold on to the sort of finger-painting aspect of music. That's something I learned, particularly from listening to Neil Young. Tom Waits is another one, because Tom's music is incredibly sophisticated and beautifully arranged, but he's using a toolbox that's unlike anybody else's.
Elvis Costello
I can't say anymore than I love you. Anything else would be a waste of breath.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness. I crave the silhouette of your kiss.
Elvis Costello
