When you work with new people, I think that it throws all of the matters into relief, because you have to explain yourself every time. It's like crossing a new border. They want to see your documents.

More quotes by Elvis Costello
Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.
Elvis Costello
Don't tell me you don't know what love is When you're old enough to know better.
Elvis Costello
What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.
Elvis Costello
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness.
Elvis Costello
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
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
I've been lucky to listen to lots of different types of music.
Elvis Costello
Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up.
Elvis Costello
I've never had any real concern about posterity. I hope some people will be sorry when I'm not here, but I'm not playing for that.
Elvis Costello
Women hear rhythm differently than men.
Elvis Costello
It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
Elvis Costello
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
Elvis Costello
I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.
Elvis Costello
I find humming is very useful.
Elvis Costello
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Elvis Costello
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
Elvis Costello
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.
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
Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.
Elvis Costello
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard.
