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

I want to be buried with a Zippo, a roll of dimes & a bottle of Jack!

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

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.

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

If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere; it's up to you, New York, New York.

And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.
