Elvis Aron Presley - Quotes & Posters
God
"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."
"I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God. I
don't believe I'd sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me to."
music & performing
“I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every
show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never
get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get
comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there,
it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like
the first time we go on.”
-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary “Elvis on Tour”.
“The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really
didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body
was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said
‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it
again’.”
-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary “Elvis on Tour”.
"Gospel music is the purest thing there is on this earth."
"I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to."
"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."
“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 in 1956, talking about his way of moving on stage.
life
"Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that
man’s shoes."
"...the image is one thing and the human being is another...it’s very hard
to live up to an image."
"I get sometimes, I get lonesome right in the middle of a crowd."
"I believe the key to happiness is, someone to love, something to do, and
something to look forward to."
" You never stood that man shoes, or saw things through his eyes."
Ma'am, I'm not tryin' to be sexy. Ah didn't have any clear ideah of trying
to sell sex. It's just my way of expressin' how I feel when I move around.
It's all leg movement. Ah don't do nothin' with my body.
-- Elvis Presley to a reporter early in his career, quoted in: Joe Kohut and
John J Kohut, ed., Rock Talk (1994)
I'm not kidding myself. My voice alone is just an ordinary voice. What
people come to see is how I use it. If I stand still while I'm singing, I'm
dead, man. I might as well go back to driving a truck.
-- Elvis Presley, 1956
