Ain't nowhere else in the world where you
can go from driving a truck
to driving a Cadillac overnight
I
didn't know what I wanted to do as a kid. But I used to pray to God that
I'd amount to something some day. I never dreamed that something like
this would happen.
Just
because you look good don't mean you feel good.
Folks
always look good in their coffins.
The
most beautiful thing in the world to me is a baby lookin' as pretty
as her mama
It's
not how much you have that people look up to you it's who you
are.
I never
believed that anything was a coincidence. There's a reason for
everything that happens dreams tells us that we've got to be smart
enough to interpret
When
you let your head get too big it'll break your neck.
A
person's eyes tell you more that their words I'm sort of getting
tired of being Elvis Presley.
The
image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to
live up to an image
The
world is more alive at night it's like God ain't looking I don't
believe that death is the end.
Re-incarnation
has gotta be real - it explains a lot about why people are the way
they are.
You
can't breathe or even go to the bathroom without them knowin' about
it.
I never
hated anything so much in my life as I have the army. It's an
excellent experience.
It let's you find out how other people think
and live.
Gospel
music is the purest thing there is on this earth
People
who read sex into my music have dirty minds.
I've
always lived a straight, clean life.
I don't
set any kind of bad example. My music appeals to teenagers because
it's strongly emotional.
When
rock-n-roll dies out another type of emotional music is going to
take its place.
Then I
can sit on my back porch at Graceland and remember the good ol'
days.
I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God.
I don't believe I'd sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me
to.
Music
should be something that makes you gotta move inside and outside
Music is like religion when you experience them both it should move
you Rock and Roll music
I don't
think it'll ever die completely out because they're gonna have to
get something mighty good to take its place.
My
songs are a way of caressing people with my voice
I like
acting better that I do TV because if you goof in a movie you can go
back and take it over.
Hollywood
had lost sight of the basics. They're a lot of fancy talkers who
like to pigeonhole you.
Only
the only thing worse than watchin' a bad movie is bein' in
one.
Talent
is bein' able to sell what you're feeling. |
