My whole family is spiritual. My grandmother, grand aunt, cousins, they're all preachers and pastors. Spirituality is a part of my family, from generations ago.
I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.
What can you say about a society that says that God is dead and Elvis is alive?
In 20 years I had sold more records for RCA than any artist except Elvis Presley.
I feel like I have adopted the Philippines as my second country.
I still have an old painting the Colonel gave me. It was the first time the Colonel had been back to the Hilton since Elvis had passed away.
In the early days, myself and my friends were into punk because we had no money, just very basic instruments and skills. It was more about the ethos and the energy.
Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.
That was my first introduction to BMWs in 1978, when my friend bought it for me as a surprise with my money. And ever since then, I've stuck to BMWs.
Most managers in the rock n' roll world... don't care so much about who's in the band as long as it's making money.
I've always been fascinated with aristocracy. I'm really interested in the Ivy Leagues, the final clubs, all the really old-money families, the concept of old money.
My wife works harder than anyone else with the children around the house. I make the money, sure, but she does everything else.
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
You wear fur, it's like you trying to be something you not. You get fur, you can spend the same money on like, 30 jackets.
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.
West Hollywood blew my mind: gay men walking down the street, kissing and holding hands. I'd never imagined there was a place like that.
Adultery - which is the only grounds for divorce in New York - is not grounds for divorce in California. As a matter of fact, adultery in Southern California is grounds for marriage.
When you're old-fashioned like I am, you know marriage is forever. Those vows are a promise.
Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.
It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward.
