Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have, and it's cathartic as well, because I create art out of anger, something positive out of something negative.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not trying to promote it.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the '70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this. I wanted people to know who I am based on my music, not on what they read in the tabloids.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I'm more prone to his '70s material, which is what I was around for and watched a lot. I listen to a lot of that stuff. It probably influenced me quite a bit. I'm more drawn to the darker, sadder songs.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
I'm trying to have my own thing, and I don't know if it's even possible. I didn't realize so many people actually think I'm trying to be like my dad. I read comments like 'She's no Elvis.' I'm not trying to be. I never set out to be.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music.
- Lisa Marie Presley Quote
On my US tour maybe three out of 30 shows there was an Elvis impersonator in the crowd but that's it. I usually get younger fans, and those that come that are of an older generation end up walking out because it's too loud.
