You can take Elvis. You can take Marilyn Monroe. Success and fame will not be the answer if something inside of you is bothering you if things in your mind aren't going right.

What can you say about a society that says that God is dead and Elvis is alive?

Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And by God he did. He lived up to his word.

I love Johnny Cash and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business but no he's never been the rebel.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God like Elvis has left the building.

To me John Lennon and Elvis Presley were punks because they made music that evoked those emotions in people.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought this is it.

There was a chance for me to write one song for the section where Elvis sat in his black leather outfit and sang the old hits. At eight oclock the next morning I had written Memories.

My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis a lot of different types of music.

As a person he was wonderful. He really was a great person. He was full of life. He had a great sense of humor. Very talented of course but very caring to his parents. There was a very endearing quality about Elvis.
