I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat. ↗

Elvis was incredibly cooperative. He would try anything. He wasn't a diva, no prima donna. When it came to work, he was a workhorse. ↗

Elvis Presley, you can't define him in a couple of sentences, but he was a country boy and he was very respectful. ↗

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it. ↗

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard "Heartbreak Hotel" I thought, this is it. ↗

No, there will come a time where I'm not gonna do this anymore. I mean, there will come a time, definitely, where I'll turn into Elvis - I'm gonna be fat and fishin', I guarantee you. ↗
