I've never seen the devil create music.

And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.

I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.

I gave up rock 'n' roll for the rock of ages! I used to be a glaring homosexual until God changed me!

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.

A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.

I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road.
