I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.

it follows that if you aren't happy with yourself, you won't be happy with others.

What I like about singing is that, for me, it's a substitute for the psychiatrist's couch.

I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness.

Don't keep telling your parents they don't understand you. Believe me it's much worse when they do. There's just a chance, you know - they really might.

I always thought that Elvis could have been a great actor, and that he was put in a lot of unimportant movies when he could have done a lot of great ones.

Happiness, you'll find, is the greatest magnet in the world.
