When I got outta High School I was driving a truck. I was just a poor boy from Memphis, Memphis.

I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch Rebel Without a Cause a hundred times over.

The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make every time you stamp, throw a lamp.

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.

Do something worth remembering.

I love only one girl, one in every town.
