I knew about Elvis. Of course, everybody knew about him then.

Show business is made up of disappointments, and it's through life's disappointments that you grow.

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.

It's the most unglamourous glamour business in the world.

We have boys now, and men, in the rock and roll business and all the show business, who have this reaction on women. They scream. They yell. They do all sorts of wild things.

I think Elvis would be alive today, probably, if he had been allowed to mix and mingle with his fans. I think it was a great cross for him to bear that he couldn't get out and be with his fans.

My husband was a pilot. He flew Elvis when Elvis first started making appearances around the country.

I've been with certain stars; some are caring and pay attention to their fans and to their fellow performers and some are too busy. Elvis never seemed too busy.

The doctor must have put my pacemaker in wrong. Every time my husband kisses me, the garage door goes up.

When we got to the hotel, the Hawaiian Village, there were 500 screaming women there. The police were trying to keep the crowd back. It was very dangerous.

I can always remember that experience in Hawaii pleasantly on account of Elvis.

God has a plan for all of us, but He expects us to do our share of the work.

Elvis said, Miss Minnie, do you think it would be out of order if I go up and speak to General Stewart? I've always been such a fan of his. So Elvis went up to speak to the Stewarts.

Take the back roads instead of the highways.

Elvis couldn't leave the hotel except under heavy guard. It was incredible how they went wild over him.

Kissing a man with a beard is a lot like going to a picnic. You don't mind going through a little bush to get there!

I think Elvis loved his fans - I think that's why they loved him and still love him. Fans are very conscious and sensitive to the fact that performers love them.

Elvis walked over and signed a few autographs over the fence. They were screaming. I had never seen this.

Getting married is a lot like getting into a tub of hot water. After you get used to it it aint so hot.

Once you've gotten used to performing, you can't give it up.

Getting married is a lot like getting into a tub of hot water. After you get used to it, it ain't so hot.

I didn't choose to like Chik-Fil-A - I was born this way.

There is a real fear around shifting from our existing economic system because people believe it gives us social organisation, a sense of freedom, and the ability to be nice to each other. Growth is seen as a social lubricant that allows us to be socially responsible.

The thing I love most about going on vacation is that I get to leave behind any kind of schedule. My entire life is scheduled from morning to night, and when I'm on vacation, there is no schedule.

So we have broad bipartisan support for the bill, and it's my hope that we can build on some of the things that have been talked about in Washington involving building a larger ownership society.

I think laughter may be a form of courage. As humans we sometimes stand tall and look into the sun and laugh, and I think we are never more brave than when we do that.

All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon, what it means to you.

Writing for children is an art in itself, and a most interesting one.

No other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might - but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.

If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.

We were so fundamental that almost everything had been stripped away from the place of worship. Think of the role words can play, when all other enticements and sensual attractions are gone.

When I started out as a music journalist, at the end of the 1980s, it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie rock took off, and new wave invented a language of teen angst.

I couldn't live on the singing at first, so I worked as a cleaner, in a launderette, in a garage, face painting and doing the windows of shops at Christmas, 'cause I had been to art college.

Good things are always coming our way, we're just looking in the wrong direction. Turn around.

The American people are extraordinarily comfortable, affluent, and secure. It's easy for us to make the argument that God's purpose is being fulfilled through history and through the rise of American power. And to some degree, it probably is.

That first Easter must have been awkward because you know the apostles had already divided up Jesus stuff.

I got to play with ZZ Top and introduce Bryan Adams and George Michael. And to have it all topped off by me winning 'American Idol?!' It's pretty absurd.

Chris proposed exactly the way I've always dreamed. Our families were close by, but it was just us out on a beautiful deck overlooking a lake in East Tennessee. We had just been on a hike and - in our workout clothes - he hit the knee! We feel so blessed by God that He sent us each other, and we are looking so forward to forever together.

I want to feel that every trip I make has enhanced me as a person.

We have already discovered how quickly we become dependent on the Internet and its applications for business, government and research, so it is not surprising that we are finding that we can apply this technology to enable or facilitate our social interactions as well.

Colorado is an oasis an otherworldly mountain place.

A lot of the motivation for doing the 'Make 'Em Laugh' on SNL was because I had just finished shooting 'Inception,' where there were zero-gravity scenes and I got into really good shape and was training and did all these stunts. Coming off of that, that instilled me with the confidence to do 'Make 'Em Laugh.'

Baptists are very strong believers that the civil magistrate is ordained by God to punish those who do evil.

I've always been inspired by a lot of work coming out of the UK.
