I was always interested in having my own money - not my family's money. I don't think it had anything to do with me being Elvis's granddaughter. None of my drive was, 'I need to get away from my family legacy!'
When they make a woman's picture, they treat it like a 'woman's picture.' In the '40s, they didn't treat Joan Crawford movies like that, but as the big movies of their year.

At this point I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes. You couldn't spend the money I've accrued now.
I like to see how I can do it for less money.
I've been lucky, I've had movies that made a lot of money, so I don't feel like I have to kill every time out. I don't want that pressure. I don't need it.

When you have a country that can boast that more than 95 percent of its eligible workforce is employed and pumping money back into economy, that's exceptionally good news, especially as we prepare to observe Labor Day.
I have 120 people in my payroll without any government giving me any money. We live off the tickets and the records I sell. That is very unusual.
I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money.
