More quotes by 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
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.
Elvis Costello
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions And I'm giving you a longing look Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book.
Elvis Costello
Songs are more powerful than books.
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
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
I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
Elvis Costello
I became an altar boy because of the solemn face, but I got thrown out at fourteen for laughing. Because the priest used to mumble everything except the church plate takings.
Elvis Costello
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me. I wanna bite that hand so badly. I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
Elvis Costello
Why can't a man stand alone? Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own? His skin and his station, his kin and his crown, his flag and his nation They just weigh him down
Elvis Costello
Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
Elvis Costello
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
I wish you luck with a capital F.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
Elvis Costello
When in doubt, play track 4 - it is usually the one you want.
Elvis Costello
I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
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
