Two thousand years from now they'll still be hearing about Elvis Presley.

I started out as an opportunistic renegade. By now, I've lasted long enough to become sort of an American Original Respectable Renegade.

I know it sounds corny, man, but I like to bring folks joy, and I like to have a good time. I know folks like to be with somebody who's having a good time. You sure as hell don't want to be with somebody who's having a bad day.

From 1958 to 1964, that's real rock n' roll. Then the Beatles hit and everyone sounded like them.

My fake Japanese was smooth enough to earn me the title of 'The Emperor of Pleasing Graciousness' in that country.

We are put on this earth to have a good time. This makes other people feel good. And the cycle continues.

My existence went up about 12 levels of intensity.
