Music is more like water than a rhinoceros. It doesn't charge madly down one path. It runs away in every direction.

More quotes by Elvis Costello
But there are things in Il Sogno that the methods of The Delivery Man could never achieve.
Elvis Costello
She said she was working for the ABC news, it was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use.
Elvis Costello
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness. I crave the silhouette of your kiss.
Elvis Costello
I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.
Elvis Costello
It's the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.
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.
Elvis Costello
Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
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
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it. Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.
Elvis Costello
Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.
Elvis Costello
I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.
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
Women hear rhythm differently than men.
Elvis Costello
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine.
Elvis Costello
My dad had a steady job with a really major dance band from '54 till '68, and then quit because he wanted to play different music. He wanted to sing about peace. He believed in these things.
Elvis Costello
If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains
Elvis Costello
I woke up and one of us was crying.
Elvis Costello
I mistrust these people in music industry who can be everybody. This is where technology dictates to them. I mistrust that, that in somehow the chips capture the soul of a player, that's patent nonsense.
Elvis Costello
I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.
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
