Minnie Pearl

When we got to the hotel, the Hawaiian Village, there were 500 screaming women there. The police were trying to keep the crowd back. It was very dangerous.

Take the back roads instead of the highways.

I've been with certain stars; some are caring and pay attention to their fans and to their fellow performers and some are too busy. Elvis never seemed too busy.

I think Elvis loved his fans - I think that's why they loved him and still love him. Fans are very conscious and sensitive to the fact that performers love them.

I can always remember that experience in Hawaii pleasantly on account of Elvis.

Show business is made up of disappointments, and it's through life's disappointments that you grow.

They were taking pictures and everything. When we got down off the plane, the minute Elvis made his appearance at the door of the plane, the screaming got even worse.

We have boys now, and men, in the rock and roll business and all the show business, who have this reaction on women. They scream. They yell. They do all sorts of wild things.

It's the most unglamourous glamour business in the world.

The doctor must have put my pacemaker in wrong. Every time my husband kisses me, the garage door goes up.

God has a plan for all of us, but He expects us to do our share of the work.
