We have to set our own agenda, we have to set our own standards, we have to be very strong about what we want, we have to be very strong about our passion and if it's not right for you, you shouldn't do it just because you're advised by so-called geniuses.

There was a lot of great writing couples, but I try to do it all myself. And it was practically impossible, but I still managed to be ahead of my time.

I always went with my agenda, I just couldn't execute it.

Every day I'm doing things, it's surprising to me, because this is about what following your passion does - it moves you, you don't move it.

When I used to go to Elvis's house was always a nightmare trying to get into the house because of so many fans outside the gate and he really couldn't go anywhere without sneaking in or doing something because people just wanted to be around him and to be with him.

I heard a lot of jazz singers - Ernestine Anderson, Elizabeth Cotton, Nadia Boulange. there's just a lot of women that I listen to that the public wouldn't know.

Elvis was, at least the times I was around him, Elvis was a practical joker. He was always, had some little mischievous something going.

But I think that a lot of the acts were pretty discouraged because... I always knew that they came to see the Beatles, it never bothered me, and I tried to cater to the excitement and put a set together, so Brian Epstein ended up putting me at the very end of the show.

And I just remember, you know, breaking into tears and feeling so empty because, as long as Elvis was in the world, you always knew something was going and he always had something that kept everybody mesmerized.

Ignorance is kind of bliss.

No, I never dated Elvis. I wanted to but I wanted to have a relationship with Elvis that was more than a one date or two dates.

I think the songs are what I miss most.

There are some good songs, but not the kind of song-writing that I remember, that I like. Springsteen still does it. Paul Simon, and there are also good writers, but that doesn't dominate the charts.

I think Ingmar Bergman, Francoise Truffaut - all these people created images in my mind, beautiful pictures, I loved what was known at that time as the foreign film.

When Elvis was performing, you just tried to figure out a way to get there. I think he set all the records and anyone that has ever had the good fortune to see him, you know what it's like to try to get in to see Elvis. It was impossible, practically.

No, I got my web site going and said I have the record out. People were just falling on the floor - they couldn't believe it - after all that time. You know, it wasn't a compilation, it was new songs.

I think to just single out a highlight of Elvis's career is pretty much impossible. As far as being a fan of his, a lifetime fan, there were just too many highlights.

He really set the standard, Elvis set the standard as far as I'm concerned on how a star should act. He was the first star.

I was lucky enough to first meet Elvis at his house in Bel Air and he used to invite different artists, singers and musicians, to come and jam with him at his house.

Well, as an artist, I think that Elvis's generosity to me he always talked very highly about me, he always spoke very highly about my work and singing and my writing.
