I met Elvis first in Las Vegas. I think I was appearing with Tom Jones and he came backstage to say hello to Tom or we went to his dressing room to say hello.
Elvis, stop dat! You know it is taboo to whistle at night. You will attract a spirit.
I love his music because he was my generation. But then again, Elvis is everyone's generation, and he always will be.
It was like Elvis came along and whispered some dream in everybody's ear
ELVIS PRESLEY was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business. We got to be great friends and kindred souls.
What can you say about a society that says God is dead and Elvis is alive?
So I bought a forty-four magnum, it was solid steel cast, and in the blessed name of Elvis, well I just let it blast 'til my TV lay in pieces.
Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return.
Most performers reinvent themselves. Madonna, Michael Jackson, P. Diddy. They reinvent themselves into different kinds of images. Elvis Presley was always himself, an original, and he never tried to be anything but that.
I never wanted to be a prophet or a saviour. Elvis maybe
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Elvis eleven.
I think everybody in my generation, we wanted to be Elvis.
I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.
You're no Elvis Presley, I'm no Marilyn Monroe, but I do think you're sexy, just thought I'd tell you so.
He had a Halloween party and I dressed up as The King. One of the more enjoyable nights I've had. Nobody recognized me. They recognized me, but they recognized me as Elvis. I might have to bring that back to Indianapolis.
Elvis was rock'n'roll. He came from the poverty and the pain.
When I first came into this world, Elvis was already fat.
All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals. . . and they killed Elvis Presley.
I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.
At network television you could make a show like Freaks and Geeks, and even though 7 million people watch is every week, you were considered a terrible failure, and they got rid of you and staff. Now. . . It's like a world where the replacements are the biggest fans in the world. It's, the Elvis Costellos of television are the winners. Creativity is king and it's very very exciting.
