“Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.”
Elvis Costello“We're all just animals. That's all we are, and everything else is just an elaborate justification of our instincts. That's where music comes from. And romantic poetry. And bad novels.”
Elvis Costello“Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love.”
Elvis Costello“But it's easier to say 'I love you',than 'Yours, sincerely' I suppose.”
Elvis Costello“So you take her to the pictures,trying to become a fixture.Inch by inch trying to reach her,all the way through the second feature.Worrying about your physical fitness,tell me how you got this sickness?”
Elvis Costello“It's a breath you took too late.It's a death that's worse than fate.”
