Dyin' is a pain in the ass.

Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I'm just a singer, Elvis was the embodiment of the whole American culture.

[Answering the phone] Hello, this is a recording, you've dialed the right number, now hang up and don't do it again.

Most of what has been written about me is one big blur, but I do remember being described in one simple word that I agree with. It was in a piece that tore me apart for my personal behavior, but the writer said that when the music began and I started to sing, I was "honest."
