People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.

Anything that has to travel all the way down from your cerebellum to your fingertips, there's a lot of things that can happen on the journey. Sometimes I'll listen to records, my own stuff, and I think god, the original idea for this was so much better than the mutation that we arrived at.

I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
Elvis Costello

I feel like a juggler running out of hands.

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing. And you start talking yourself out of the bold melody and start wanting to arrange it in another key or something. Maybe I just never learned my harmony part, because what everybody says sounds odd to them sounds perfectly natural to me.

When they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.

I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.

My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.

Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

I woke up and one of us was crying.

Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up.

The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel.
Elvis Costello

Don't start me talking, I could talk all night. My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world right.

[Commercial radio] is owned by one or two corporations now, and they're not in the music business. They're in the advertising business.... So let's not kid ourselves. If you want to hear music, go buy a guitar.
Elvis Costello
Image
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.

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.

I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.

Why'd you have to say that there's always someone who can do it better than I can And don't you think that I know that walkin' on water won't make me a miracle man
