You know in my hometown of Hope Arkansas the three sacred heroes were Jesus Elvis and FDR not necessarily in that order.

And if there's any hope for America it lies in a revolution and if there's any hope for a revolution in America it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.

I'm trying to have my own thing and I don't know if it's even possible. I didn't realize so many people actually think I'm trying to be like my dad. I read comments like 'She's no Elvis.' I'm not trying to be. I never set out to be.

If it was just me and Elvis one on one which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy. Easy laugh nice guy.

I didn't have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times.

I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician but he knew all about the attitude part of it.

Damien Hirst is the Elvis of the English art world its ayatollah deliverer and big-thinking entrepreneurial potty-mouthed prophet and front man. Hirst synthesizes punk Pop Art Jeff Koons Marcel Duchamp Francis Bacon and Catholicism.

It's pretty amazing to me that my first hit record was an Elvis Presley record.
