I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.

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

To me, true rock 'n' roll has a lot of bottom in it.

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I've always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband.

Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. I know what the blocks are made of because I built them.

I think that a man should be caring.

I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
