Elvis Presley

I was an only child, and Mother was always right with me all my life. I used to get very angry at her when I was growing up-it's a natural thing.

I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch Rebel Without a Cause a hundred times over.

I miss my singing career very much.

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

I don't think I'm bad for people. If I did think I was bad for people, I would go back to driving a truck, and I really mean this.

Just because I managed to do a little something, I don't want anyone back home to think I got the big head.

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.

I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants.

The next thing I knew, I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called, GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

I'm so nervous. I've always been nervous, ever since I was a kid.

People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody.
