I was watching Live a Little and Love a Little today on TCM, I loved the "Greg Nolan is here with the truth....the truth is I need a job..." a great movie line.

[Elena/The Russian EP Fan Club]

I love this elvis&#39; quote:

&#39;A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It’s my favorite part of the business, live concerts. &#39;

And of course

&#39;The image is one thing and the human being is another. It&#39;s very hard to live up to an image&#39;

[kakeli]

I have to agree with a couple that were already said:

From the movies, well just look at my signature, "them ain't tactics baby it's just the beast in me"

From real life, "the image is one thing and the human being is another" I think was probably one of the most telling things Elvis ever said.

kakeli

[Joe Car]

From the On Stage Album, "I've already kissed you, you've already had it, just hang loose everybody".

[Elena/The Russian EP Fan Club]

Hey, thank you Kakeli and Joe Car (y)
Great quotes indeed :clap: :D

"Hey man If I can do it, you can do it.
Just reach out for that star grab it hold it to you're
brest and make it yours"

This is just great.... :)

[T_J]

"Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me.'

Movies:
"Now you know what I do for an encore"
"I'm a grease monkey that don't slide too easily" Always makes me laugh :lol:

?...the image is one thing and the human being is another...it?s very hard to live up to an image"

[Paulie1971]

'I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to'. ;)

'Only thing worse than watching a bad movie is being in one'

'Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it you have it all over'.

[Albert]

Two lines that cross my mind more than any other line by Elvis is the "O, what a friend we have in Jesus..." and "It's a hot time in Florida, rainy night in Georgia".... both are from the car segments of On Tour.....

[buttonhead]

my favourite quote of elvis would be..

" ..Don't criticize what you dont understand , son..You never walked in that man's shoes.."

And

" I get lonesome sometimes, I get lonesome right in the middle of a crowd.."

[Liverbobs]

Whew! There are a lot of great ones for sure, but one that just came to mind is, "If your head gets too big, it'll break your neck."
Hey, thats my signature :P (h)

[Dovey]

At Elvis' last preformance at the Lousiana Hayride Shows, Elvis said , "That it was ok if some people did not like him because some people did not like Jesus Christ and they killed him and he was a perfect man."

Dovey

[KPM]

Sometimes I get Lonely in a crowd....it seems to sum up Elvis in my mind.

[THENATUREBOY]

My favorite Elvis quote would be:

"I've been lucky. And you know something? I just feel sometimes like it's all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes and wake up and it'll all be over. I hope not. I hope it never ends. I hope it never ends."

[elvis fan 1976]

This my fave Elvis quote, it was writen by Elvis in vegas in 1976 it's kinda sad. "I don't know who to talk to any more. Or turn to. I only have myself and the lord. Help me lord to know the right thing." :'( :'(

[Menwithbrokenhearts]

" When I started out... I had a little bitty guitar..... little bitty sideburns and a little shaky leg.... "

" I'm actually going to play the guitar. I know three chords, believe it or not. I faked em all for years, man"

"Alot of people say I'm too old to do this song ... Well. by God, you just watch me!"

" This is a new song we're doing for the special. I hope you like it. It goes sumpn' like this......( no music starting.....) How do you like it so far? "


Elvis reading cue cards " Elvis to talk about being filmed from the waist up. And not touching hands with body .... I mean.... body with hands...)


I hope I got those right!:hmm:

[marguerita]

"Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth.
I just sorta do em all together, I guess. "
:cool:

[ForeverTheKing]

There are too many...I write you just few.

- Elvis in a piece of paper accidentaly found by a cleaning lady in his Las Vegas suite:

"I feel so alone sometimes
the night is quiet for me
I would love to be able to sleep
I'm glad everyone is gone now
I will probably not rest tonight
I have no need for all of this
HELP ME, LORD!" :'( :'( :'(

- Ed Sullivan Show 1956:

"Ladies and gentlemen....I'd like to say this...until we meet you again, may God bless you as he blessed me...thank you very much!" :notworthy

- "It ain't no saint, but I've tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God...I figure all any kid needs hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I had contributed something to the world"

- "Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn't do anything but just jiggle" :P

...and of course my signature:

[Memphisgurl]

From T-R-O-U-B-L-E

"Well, you talk about a woman: I?ve seen a lot of others
But too much somethin' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream"

From I Can Help

"If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this:
I can help, I've got two strong arms and I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good;
Let me help"

[ELV1S]

I would have to say mine is from th 1971 award speech written below in my signature

[ForeverTheKing]

Hi Jouni!
Personally I don't know the precise year...
I've seen two different documentaries about Elvis, that reported the story of the cleaning lady and the piece of paper written by Elvis and found in the room with those sad sentences..:'( so I think it's true but they didn't tell the year...just the fact it happened in Las Vegas.
I'd be curious to know more informations too.
I don't think it's false since I heard about it twice but I've just finished to read the biography "Careless Love" and the book doesn't tell anything about it.

[KPM]

There was a quote from one of Elvis's cousins that Elvis loved. This cousin showed up at Graceland and seemed really really depressed, so Elivs asked him what was wrong. His cousin replied "I got my nerves all down in the dirt" Elvis ended up giving him some money and told him to have some fun and relax. But he loved to tell people that line about nerves in the dirt.

[Trelane P]

On his taste in burgers:

"I like it done well. I ain't ordering a pet".

Too funny!

[Vincent]

"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away."
~Elvis Presley

[mistymorning]

I feel like a bird who,s been let out of his cage and wants to fly a little.I want to flap my wings.I want to feel sure I,m free again. I never know what I want to do,but I sure want to do something that has nothing to do with this movie business.

[mistymorning]

what do you think about this qoute from lisa Marie:
"There was no difference between his image and who he was,except he was even more important and bigger.Everything you saw was what was there,what he gave and he never put up a front of was who he was,and that,s what came through,and his image did anywhere near to what he was as a human being".Lisa marie

[Unchained Melody]

?...the image is one thing and the human being is another...it?s very hard to live up to an image.?
-From the press conference prior to his record-breaking Madison Square Garden shows in New York City, 1972
This is one of my favorite quotes by Elvis.

[MauriceColgan]

" AH DON'T SOUND LIKE NOBODY"
"Ah don't sound like nobody" Elvis said, at SUN. And so the story goes, The beginning was begun. "Thats alright Mama" He sang in a rare style, With a rockin'rollin' rhythm, Uniquely versatile. Fame and fortune came his way, Elvis remained the same. And all around the world today, Everyone knows his name. Graceland is the place to be, At a certain time each year, When thousands gather at the gates, In the song filled atmosphere. M.C. 1999.

Does anyone know the year when the cleaning lady found this piece of paper in Elvis' suite??:hmm:

Jouni

76' In the Hilton.

Most of the guy's dismiss it's authenticity.

[nashville cat]

It doesn't come from a very good time in his life, but my favorite is probably "my voice is so d**n low I make JD Sumner sound like a tenor".


Priceless!!

My favorite from a song, are the lines you find in my signature. Those words coupled with the way he sings them, never fails to move me.

[Unchained Melody]

76' In the Hilton.

Most of the guy's dismiss it's authenticity.

I don't think that it really happened, but judging the the time period it is from and the kind of mood Elvis was in during his last season in Vegas it wouldn't suprise me if it was true.

[franny]

?Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes.?

This is my favourite quote...

Indeed! He also had a great laugh...

two of my favorites: “The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it again.”
-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary "Elvis on Tour"

“Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn’t do anything but just jiggle.”
-From the press conference prior to his record-breaking Madison Square Garden shows in New York City, 1972

Love that one. When did he say that

[marijaep]

I personally don't believe that's an Elvis quote. He might have said it though; If you look it up on google, it's often attributed to Dr. Seuss, but that is disputed as well. ;)
