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.
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.
~ Elvis commenting to a reporter, 1950's.
Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.
~ Elvis often used this adaptation of a well-known quotation.
