One of my real goals was to hear someone whistling a song I'd written.
I'm sure that Elvis was happy for me. I think he was the kind of guy that enjoyed other people's success, especially if he had something to do with it.
Elvis was just like a big old kid. It was like he never got past 19, I don't think, in a lotta ways.
Bought all the Beatle records, I sounded just like Paul.
In the Ghetto, I'd been trying to write for years.
If it was just me and Elvis one on one, which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him, it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy... easy laugh, nice guy.
