I learned very early in life that: 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend-without a song.' So I keep singing a song.

I'll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I'll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don't think those things are right for me.

The world is more alive at night; it's like God isn't looking.

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

Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don't know why-the lyrics had no meaning.

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.

Friends are people you can talk to... without words when you have to.
