“They put me on television. And the whole thing broke loose. It was wild, I tell ya for sure.”

“Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don't know why-the lyrics had no meaning.”

“When I got outta High School I was driving a truck. I was just a poor boy from Memphis, Memphis.”

“I'll stay in Memphis.”

“More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.”

“I don't do any vulgar movements.”

“I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.”

“I was an only child, and Mother was always right with me all my life. I used to get very angry at her when I was growing up-it's a natural thing.”

“I'm so nervous. I've always been nervous, ever since I was a kid.”

“There are too many people that depend on me. I'm too obligated. I'm in too far to get out.”

“I was an overnight sensation.”

“I've been getting some bad publicity - but you got to expect that.”

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

“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.'”

“Those movies sure got me into a rut.”

“I'll never make it, it will never happen, because they're never going to hear me 'cause they're screaming all the time.”

“I think I have something tonight that's not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.”

“I don't think I'm bad for people. If I did think I was bad for people, I would go back to driving a truck, and I really mean this.”

“Man, I really like Vegas.”
