I didn't have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word, and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times.

Elvis transcends his talent to the point of dispensing with it altogether.

Elvis was incredibly cooperative. He would try anything. He wasn't a diva, no prima donna. When it came to work, he was a workhorse.

When I was a little kid, I was very impressed with 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'm not Elvis. I don't get chased by paparazzi.

If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.

Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.

Elvis was rock'n'roll. He came from the poverty and the pain.

Well, as an artist, I think that Elvis's generosity to me he always talked very highly about me, he always spoke very highly about my work and singing and my writing.
