It's from an interview in The Guardian on April 5th 2002. the interviewer, Will Hodgkinson, says>>Unsurprisingly, Costello's current listening includes classic songwriting, like that of Joni Mitchell. "She's a painter with words," he says. He plays us a Joni Mitchell track, Shades of Scarlett Conquering, to illustrate the point. "It's about a woman who models herself on Scarlett O'Hara, and she's terribly overwrought and demanding on all the men in her life: 'Dressed in stolen clothes she stands cast-iron in furs, with her impossibly gentle hands and long red fingernails.'
