Every woman wanted him to be either her son or her lover. But it was that mischievous little look on his face that I loved.
It was just fun. I like driving in this class and I like racing with these guys,
I always thought that Elvis could have been a great actor, and that he was put in a lot of unimportant movies when he could have done a lot of great ones.

Each song, you're telling a story and acting.
Being able to sing all these years has helped me handle life's tragedies.
A lot of the music, and especially rap, I don't understand.
I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing. And things snowballed.
I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.
I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness.
