The Internet is overrated. It's much smaller an innovation than people think it is. I don't think it's changed the way anybody makes music.

As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity, I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There's one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love, & Understanding?

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

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

My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant, someone who disrupts the daily drag of life just enough to leave the victim thinking there's maybe more to it all than the mere hum-drum quality of existence.

I wish you luck with a capital F.

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.
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.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.

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