You Are the Work of a Committee


Insightful snippet from Odile W. Husband's recent interview with Elvis Costello:

OWH: What then are the craziest perceptions or greatest misconceptions people might hold about you?

EC: If you are on the stage for while, all you can hope is that these lie somewhere between the falsehood of slanders and the implausibility of compliments. 
We are all assembled from experience and circumstance and seen through the eyes of our loved ones and enemies alike. 
For all we know. Mrs. Husband, you too are the work of a committee, just a series of curiosities and enquiries, prompted with the whispers of lovers, the jealousy of rivals, the echo of your own loathing and dread or whatever else you pull out of that Hessian postal bag of yours.
