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 77 quotes

Something happens to people a...

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I have always been a singer/s...

I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I take a situation, analyse i...

I take a situation, analyse it, break it down, put it in the form I want it to be in, and then I toss it away. Let somebody else go deal with it.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

When I'm doing interviews, I'...

When I'm doing interviews, I'm doing interviews, and when I am writing, I'm writing. I sit there with a musician and I write. It's the same process since I started writing in my twenties. I like to come in and leave with a finished song.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

People that were in my life f...

People that were in my life for a long time turned sinister and tried to control me, and all kinds of weird stuff happened. But there was no conscience involved; that threw me more than anything.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I do like to write nasty song...

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 77 quotes

I never not wanted to be a si...

I never not wanted to be a singer. Since I was 3, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Well, I can't say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought about it all the time. I never thought it would actually happen.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

It's hard for me to be happy ...

It's hard for me to be happy because I'm always worried about something going awry or what could happen to screw it up. It's hard for me to sit and look around, going, 'Ah, I'm really happy.' I'm not that kind of person.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I have loved music so much fr...

I have loved music so much from when I was little, and I don't know whether it was because I saw my dad doing it and then I got the idea; I don't know what came first... But I always had a hairbrush in the mirror singing. I was always with him backstage; I would go out and be pulled in for the last song.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

Being Elvis Presley's daughte...

Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I don't deal well with admira...

I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I remember him watching me th...

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 77 quotes

I knew that because of who I ...

I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I'll say it loud and say it p...

I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I want to write, I want to si...

I want to write, I want to sing. I want to do the same thing for others, have my music, hopefully do that for others one day, not realizing what I sort of had to climb. I had an idea a little bit, but I think that I underestimated the whole thing.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

If I'm alone too long I think...

If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that. That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I'm trying to have my own thi...

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 77 quotes

I have a lot of memories, but...

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 77 quotes

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.
