Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
Elvis Costello

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
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

It's not crazy to want to have certain songs be developed harmonically and still want to make noise with the guitar. And you can have both.

Theres so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury

I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.

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