On his taste in burgers:
"I like it done well. I ain't ordering a pet".
Too funny!
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.
On his taste in burgers:
"I like it done well. I ain't ordering a pet".
Too funny!
"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away."
~Elvis Presley
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.
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
?...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.
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977

" 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.

The Sun Never Sets On A Legend...
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.
"I can't see my reflection in the water. I can't speak the sounds that show no pain. I can't hear the echo of my footsteps. I can't remember the sound of my own name" - Tomorrow Is A Long Time
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.Originally Posted by 0349054

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
