I got a woman that's mean as she can be, sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me.

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.

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.

People often ask me how would I like to be remembered and I answer that I would simply like to be remembered.

ELVIS PRESLEY was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business. We got to be great friends and kindred souls.
