You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin'.

I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.

What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you're gone, you're history.

I got married and basically forgot about Elvis. Then Speedway came. That was the most fun of all, to see him every day all those weeks.

I wanted to travel with my dad to be close to him again. Having babies and raising my own family took so much of my time, I didn't have a chance to be with him very often.

I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.

I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.
