In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that's not too flashy. But onstage, I like 'em as flashy as you can get 'em.

I like pork chops and country ham, creamed potatoes, stuff like that. Redeye gravy. It comes from ham, bacon, stuff like that. It's the grease that you fry it in. I eat a lot of Jell-O. Fruit Jell-O.

I don't like people who are in politics for themselves and not for others. You want that, you can go into show business.

I don't like to be called Elvis the Pelvis. It's one of the most childish expressions I've ever heard coming from an adult. But if they wanna call me that, there's nothin' I can do about it, so I just have to accept it.

When I first saw you with your smile so tender, my heart was captured, my soul surrendered.

I think I have something tonight that's not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.

Take care of the fans and they will sure as hell take care of you.
