I'd like to see what all of your favourite quotes are

It can be something somebody said about Elvis, or something he said personally. No song lyrics!

Hahaha I really enjoy, "Gotten any strange lately, GK?". I don't know why, but it makes me smile everytime I think of it.

From the On Stage Album, "I've already kissed you, you've already had it, just hang loose everybody"


"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. "


"Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes.

Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear Old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever get to the place where I could feel all Old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw.

I love that from 1956

At one of the concerts I attended (June 28, 1976), Elvis had the house lights turned on. He walked around and stood alongside where The Stamps, Sweet Inspirations and all were seated. He looked up into the third level which was filled as was the rest of the Spectrum. He said, "Are there people up there?" Everyone cheered. He then said, "How can you see up there?"
Then he added, "If I go bald you'll be the first to notice it." The entire Spectrum crowd laughed at that cute moment.

An excellent quote, elvislady. And boy did Elvis "become" for all of us fans. God certainly blessed that man with so much talent. And all these years later we are still enjoying all the Elvis gave us!
Thanks for the quote.

My favorite quote is: "The image is one thing, and the human being another. It's...it's...it's very hard to live up to an image."

Madison Square Garden Press Conference - June 9, 1972.
