Elvis was, at least the times I was around him, Elvis was a practical joker. He was always, had some little mischievous something going.

I was lucky enough to first meet Elvis at his house in Bel Air and he used to invite different artists, singers and musicians, to come and jam with him at his house.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love.

I always went with my agenda, I just couldn't execute it.

I think to just single out a highlight of Elvis's career is pretty much impossible. As far as being a fan of his, a lifetime fan, there were just too many highlights.

Well, as an artist, I think that Elvis's generosity to me he always talked very highly about me, he always spoke very highly about my work and singing and my writing.

The happy story right now is the full page in Vanity Fair, which gives me a great deal of exposure.

Put a little love in your heart, and the world will be a better place.

You're not going to make me have a bad day. If there's oxygen on earth and I'm breathing, it's going to be a good day.

Know the men who follow you and let them know you. Don't ask your men to die for a stranger.

Come with me while the moon is on the sea The night is young and so are we Dreams come true in Blue Hawaii And mine could all come true This magic night of nights with you
