Elvis Quotes

The premise of this page is a simple one. I have scoured books and Internet sites in search of some of Elvis' best quotations ranging from the inspirational to the humourous, because Elvis was a very sharp and funny man. Anyway, for whatever reason you may have to use an Elvis quote, here's the best I could find:

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

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

"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."

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

"Only the only thing worse than watching a bad movie is being in one."

"My voice is God's will, not mine."

"Talent is being able to sell what you're feeling."

"I don't sound like nobody..."

"Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it you have it all over."

"You only pass through this life once; you don't come back for an encore."


“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.”

“I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show.

“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’.”

“...the image is one thing and the human being is another...it’s very hard to live up to an image.”

"Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine."
