The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

Hey, we've all been to high school We've seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren't in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy.

I was smart, to tell you the truth. I'm not really bright, but I'm not stupid.

Everything they say about Elvis today is true. He was just one great guy. He wasn't jealous of anyone. I would say Elvis was really someone special when you add it all up.

I would sell 2 million records, a million went to teenagers and a million went to the adults. So, when The Beatles became so popular, I lost a million to the teenagers, but I was still selling a million to the adults.

To me, there is nothing better than me going into the studio with a live band and hearing those violins and that echo and that sound. I mean I loved it.

To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.
