If power doesn't mean that you have the opportunity to work with the people that you love , then you haven't really got any.

Here's to the confusion of our enemies!

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."

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

The thing that influenced me most was the way Tommy played his trombone. It was my idea to make my voice work in the same way as a trombone or violin-not sounding like them, but "playing" the voice like those instrumentalists.

Rock n' roll is the most disgusting form of expression, it's brutal, malefic, a pestilential aphrodisiac, the preferred music of the delinquents of the earth.

As you may know, I have many good friends in the press who, unfortunately, have thus far refused to identify themselves and go public.
