THE ELVIS (Costello that is) INTERVIEW

"Let's talk about the future now, we'll put the past away." - Elvis Costello. " Less Than Zero."

ELVIS COSTELLO was emphatic: he would volunteer no information about his past. " I don't," he said, adjusting his shades impatiently, "really think that the past -- my past - is all that interesting. "I don't see any point in talking about the past. I don't want to get into that. I mean, I haven't just learned the guitar in the last ten minutes, but I'm not going to get talking about what I've done in the past. "Nobody showed any interest in me then. If you weren't there, you missed it and that's it. It's gone. The people who were there then either appreciated it or they didn't. The past would only be relevant to them. As far as I'm concerned, it's pointless talking about the past. Fuck it. I'd just rather talk about the future, you know." There. I told you he was emphatic didn't I?
