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. I can't help it.
--Elvis Presley

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. --Elvis Presley
I've tried to lead a straight, clean life, not set any kind of a bad example. --Elvis Presley

I've been getting some bad publicity - but you got to expect that. --Elvis Presley
The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year. --Elvis Presley

They put the record out and it got pretty big in the South. But I still had my job, driving a truck daytimes and working nightclubs at night. --Elvis Presley
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money. --Elvis Presley

I didn't know that there were any radio stations in Nova Scotia. --Elvis Presley

I like entertaining people. I really miss it. --Elvis Presley
From the time I was a kid, I always knew something was going to happen to me. Didn't know exactly what. --Elvis Presley
I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line. --Elvis Presley
I 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 is 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.' --Elvis Presley
Gospel music is the purest thing there is on this earth. --Elvis Presley

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. --Elvis Presley

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