When I met Elvis, we didn't really have a conversation. I was introduced by my uncle, and he sort of grunted my way. What stays with me is the whole scene. I had never seen a real mob scene before. I was really young and impressionable. Elvis really did look - he looked sort of not real, as if he were glowing.
I'll stand my ground and I won't back down...
Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.
At the end of the day, you're just phonograph records.
We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
We haven't always been boy scouts, but we never lost sight of the music, Let me remind you that this ain't the end.

Last dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this town again
The waiting is the hardest part.
If you don't run, you rust.
