Whether I'm in London, Sydney or Hong Kong, it makes no difference. There is always someone who knows me. I must be one of the most unloneliest people in the world!

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

I waited, and I’m sure Elvis did too, for each Ricky Nelson record like we would a Chuck Berry record or a Fats Domino record, to see what was going on. I used to say to some of the guys that Ricky Nelson learned to sing on million selling records.

You wiggle to the left, you wiggle to the right, you do the Ooby Dooby with all your might.

As you stopped to say hello, oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell that I'd been crying over you.

I saw Elvis live in '54. It was at the Big D Jamboree in Dallas and the first thing, he came out and spit on the stage...it affected me exactly the same way as when I first saw that David Lynch film. There was just no reference point in the culture to compare it to.

I may be a living legend, but that sure don't help when I've got to change a flat tire.
