As many times as I have done 'Marriage of Figaro,' I have never been able to ask Mozart what he intended in this piece.
I don't relate to the 'Twilight' books or movies at all, but I'm obsessed with it as a pop culture phenomenon - all these people just screaming like it was the Beatles.
Elvis was incredibly cooperative. He would try anything. He wasn't a diva, no prima donna. When it came to work, he was a workhorse.
The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone; and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
I live in the rural area of North Georgia, so for me, those are these best days. It has little to do with humans and mostly to do with nature and what surrounds me.
Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.
My family and I are just regular folks, just trying to get through the day and do the best you can and pay the bills, and that's who we're singing to.
Iconic artists are never straight ahead. Michael Jackson loved Elvis and Burt Bacharach, and uniquely blended both of them into what he did.
I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
Elvis was just like a big old kid. It was like he never got past 19, I don't think, in a lotta ways.
As you know, I played a little trumpet with Elvis. I overdub a few drum licks here and there on a session, but I'm not a drummer by any means.
Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.
They were taking pictures and everything. When we got down off the plane, the minute Elvis made his appearance at the door of the plane, the screaming got even worse.
I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.
I don't know if music can change the world overnight but I know that music can help someone make it through a difficult night.
The best came from my martial arts teacher, who also taught Elvis. He said, 'Your ego will get you killed.'
Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me.
My family has had a lot of trouble with cancer in particular. There are a lot of great causes out there but for me to pick one I would say anything that is cancer related.
My mum's family would all get together, with guitars, harmonica, mandolins and upright bass and play old blues and folk songs. That was normal to me.
I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.
If you asked anybody in my family, they would have very stridently proclaimed themselves middle class. My mother and father were separated, so he doesn't count.
