I was an Elvis freak. That's all I listened to growing up.

I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.

When I was a little kid, I was very impressed with Elvis.

When I was a kid, I used to look in the mirror and pretend I was Elvis.

I was an original Elvis fan. He was the voice of my generation. I was listening to him on the radio when he released his great Sun records with Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on bass.

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

Elvis was just like a big old kid. It was like he never got past 19, I don't think, in a lotta ways.

And I just remember, you know, breaking into tears and feeling so empty because, as long as Elvis was in the world, you always knew something was going and he always had something that kept everybody mesmerized.

Yeah, and I recently had my first Elvis moment. A gang of young girls was jumping all over me. It was kinda scary. And totally flattering.

One night I saw Jerry Lee, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Elvis for a dollar, if you believe that, in an open-air concert. Presley, I got to meet and go into his house and so forth. My wife says I should quit tellin' that story, 'cause they'll know how old I am.
