More quotes by 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
I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually.
Elvis Costello
Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
Elvis Costello
Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
Elvis Costello
I feel like a juggler running out of hands.
Elvis Costello
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
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've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
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
I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
Elvis Costello
Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.
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
Serious music usually doesn't pay.
Elvis Costello
Some people can't physically hear things. A kid that listens to Metallica or something can't hear that, because he's filled himself up with this stuff, he physically can't hear a banjo or a harp or something.
Elvis Costello
My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness.
Elvis Costello
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.
Elvis Costello
I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years.And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
Elvis Costello
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.
Elvis Costello
