Elvis Presley king of music

The undisputed King of Rock and Roll music, Elvis Presley, still rules in the hearts of millions of his fans worldwide. What began as a fad in music in the 1960s, almost became the way the world loved to sing. On August 16, the music legend died at a young age of 42. But Elvis Presley quotes and songs have kept him alive in the hearts of his fans. This page of Elvis Presley quotes is a tribute to the world's greatest music maestro. Or perhaps will ever see.

Dancing
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.

Life
Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.

Music
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.

Adversity
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.

Music
We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lot of times we'll go upstairs and sing until daylight… gospel songs. We grew up with it. It more or less puts your mind at ease. It does mine.

Stage Fright
I've never gotten over what they call stage--fright. 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.

Body Language: Elvis Presley Quotes to a reporter
Ma'am, I'm not tryin' to be sexy. Ah didn't have any clear idea of trying to sell sex. It's just my way of expressin' how I feel when I move around. It's all leg movement. I don't do nothin' with my body.

Music
I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

Other Actors
I don't want to read about some of these actresses who are around today. They sound like my niece in Scarsdale. I love my niece in Scarsdale, but I won't buy tickets to see her act.

Philosophy
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Stage Fright
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'.

Personal Life
I get sometimes; I get lonesome right in the middle of a crowd.

Happiness
I believe the key to happiness is: someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to.

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

Humanity
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image.

Music
There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent.

God
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
Gospel music is the purest thing there is on this earth.

Music
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.

Philosophy
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 don't know which I find less intriguing; his music, or what he had to say outside of his music.
