Zitat des Tages von Elvis Presley:
I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
I'll never make it, it will never happen, because they're never going to hear me 'cause they're screaming all the time.
There are too many people that depend on me. I'm too obligated. I'm in too far to get out.
Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.
I'm so nervous. I've always been nervous, ever since I was a kid.
It's human nature to gripe, but I'm going ahead and doing the best I can.
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.
I'll stay in Memphis.
Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don't know why-the lyrics had no meaning.
I miss my singing career very much.
Until we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
I was an only child, and Mother was always right with me all my life. I used to get very angry at her when I was growing up-it's a natural thing.
I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.
More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.
I'm not trying to be sexy. It's just my way of expressing myself when I move around.
That's why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I'm always the last one to leave.
They put me on television. And the whole thing broke loose. It was wild, I tell ya for sure.
I've never written a song in my life. It's all a big hoax.
From the time I was a kid, I always knew something was going to happen to me. Didn't know exactly what.
I've tried to lead a straight, clean life, not set any kind of a bad example.
I'd just like to be treated like a regular customer.
I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
Just because I managed to do a little something, I don't want anyone back home to think I got the big head.
I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch Rebel Without a Cause a hundred times over.
The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.
When I got outta High School I was driving a truck. I was just a poor boy from Memphis, Memphis.
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.
People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody.
I think I have something tonight that's not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.
The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.
I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story.
I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants.
Those movies sure got me into a rut.
Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.
