I don't feel like a grandmother. I don't.

You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that's inside that you've learned from that life period. There are really very few people I can share that with.

He would use amphetamines to stay awake because he would have late night maneuvers that would go way into the early morning hours and he was given pills to stay up for the long hours.

I just look at it, as it's something that I had to do. I had this vision that really, Graceland is suited for a king and it is his castle. And people really should see it, as he loved it.

At times he could be very critical. He didn't like prints on me. He didn't like stripes. He didn't like boldness. He said I was petite and that was taking away from my looks.

It's not that, you know, when a relationship doesn't work and there are issues, you have to somehow work it out if there are children involved.

There's been a big void out there, in terms of where I've been and what I am currently working on, I'd like to fill that void now and share my exciting plans for the future.

There were the phone calls and Elvis had asked me to visit him in Los Angeles. This was in 1962.

I don't feel like a grandmother. I don't.

I mean, I had probably an illusion of being the wife that, you know, I wanted to create a home. I wanted to have children. I wanted him to be a husband. It was never going to be that way. It couldn't be that way.

I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible.

Inner beauty should be the most important part of improving one's self.

I lived somebody else's life. It was never about me, it was really about him on every level.

I like the creative aspect of developing a project.

As a person, he was wonderful. He really was a great person. He was full of life. He had a great sense of humor. Very talented, of course, but very caring to his parents. There was a very endearing quality about Elvis.

I don't want to be someone's entertainment.

You know, you know, obviously, if my daughter's happy, you know, then I don't have any problem.

She would go to Memphis and this was after our divorce. And I would send her to Memphis to be with him.

You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else.

You know, Lisa, for the longest time, did not sing.

Absolutely. I - you know, he was so that much a part of my life that, you know, Elvis, you know, once - once you bonded with him, I mean, there was no - there was no going back. He was just a great guy.

It was more that his career was going down again and he was tired of the songs. He was tired of the routine. And there was a point where he just kind of gave up. He couldn't face being 40. And he resorted to stimulants. There's a dark side there, a really dark side.

There is a shyness about me, and I really need to get out more.

No one has really heard my side of the story, the adventure we had together, the transformation that I had going from a schoolgirl to a woman overnight.

And when Elvis was unhappy, believe me, everyone was unhappy.

You have to remember that when I met Elvis, you know, it wasn't the fanfare that it is today or even when he was here in the states and I was in Germany growing up.

I did, but I'm not real fond of giving interviews.

Yes, the divorce was difficult. It was difficult.

I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple. It's practice, it's training, and it's - It's practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

What kind of woman am I attracted to? Really? Can I just say I like what most human beings want?

We are all gifted. That is our inheritance.

I was from a tiny little island, which I always say is one corn field away from a horror film: it was, like, isolated, and everybody knew everybody, and you go to school with the grandkids of the grandparents that your grandparents went to school with.

I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.

With Akismet there was an interesting dilemma. Is it for the good of the world Akismet being secret and being more effective against spammers, versus it being open and less effective? It seemed more people would be helped by blocking spam.

I can't tell you why there's a delay, but stick your head out of the window and you'll know why.

What I want is not to become a status symbol, but to give beauty at a price.

Your mission is to find a product or service that can positively impact the lives of 1 billion people because that's the game we're playing today.

More often than not, however, the person who flatly states 'Elves aren't like that!' is hard pressed to describe how they really look.... as if Tolkien has summoned archetypes from so deep in our minds that we can only recall them incompletely.

No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others.

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.

The difference between reality and unreality is that reality has so little to recommend it.

The lack of wealth is easily repaired but the poverty of the soul is irreplaceable.

I'm not a guy that sits around and does nothing.

There are three things I always forget. Names, faces and... the third I can't remember.

There are some good teachers out there, but the only one who is a genius at diagnosing my swing is my mom. She took up golf late, when she was 39, but in her younger days, she was an amazing athlete. She never read an instruction book or took lessons, but she has a remarkable eye for motion.

I can't begin to count how many times I have warned politicians and candidates to worry as much about the good coverage as the bad, because the more air they put in your balloon, the bigger the target when they start shooting.

I remember the first job I ever had was working on 'Firefly,' and I was talking to Joss Whedon, and he was asking if I was going to Comic-Con. He called me a loser for not going that first year.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

I will have a song that I'm in love with for a couple of months and then I'll go to something else. That's just constantly changing. And sometimes I will go back to old one that I haven't heard for a long time.
