Elvis Costello's quotes
- Be nice to the British boy. I'm the only ally you have left.
- You can always say it could be better, but if you're not careful with ambition, the next thing you know you're sailing a statue of yourself down the river . . .
- [on Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks"] It might be the best record of original thought that anybody's ever made. It's so completely unlike anything that went before it. And the vocal performances are the freest that I think Van ever recorded.
- Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's a really stupid thing to want to do.
- It was difficult to develop an original style. I have no idea who it was I might have been imitating, whether consciously or unconsciously.
- My mother tells the story of me bringing a 45 home and saying, 'It's unbreakable!' and bending it...and it broke.
- I get to play festival occasions with an orchestra - a jazz orchestra or a symphony orchestra. Believe me, that stops it from getting monotonous. Each performance requires slightly different dynamics really, really keeps the music from getting routine.
- I don't know much about Morrissey. Apart from the fact he sometimes brings out records with the greatest titles in the world that somewhere along the line he then neglects to write songs for.
- So, I think you'd better hold your tongue/ although you've never been that strong/ I'm sorry to say/ that I knew all along/ you don't mess with that Sulky Girl.
