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

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 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

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 think most artists start of...

I think most artists start off playing in front of people and are used to doing it before they go out. I kind of did it the opposite. The thing got blown sky high and I'm on TV on "Good Morning America" doing my first performance in front of everybody. I think it was backward and from that, what I got out of it, the end is what I wanted, which was headlining my own tour, having people come because they loved my record and loved my music.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

Making a decision to be a pub...

Making a decision to be a public figure isn't their choice right now. I don't think it's fair. Even though they're beautiful and I love them, they haven't made that decision yet. I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

A couple of months ago I haul...

A couple of months ago I hauled my white ass on stage alongside Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder for Divas Las Vegas, singing in front of a celebrity audience. If I can hold my own there, I can hold my own at Top of the Pops, trust me.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I don't think I realized what...

I don't think I realized what was going to be the hardest part of becaming an artist until I dove off the diving board ... first I had to overcome a pre-speculated idea of me. I had to sort of burst through that and introduce myself, and that was the first hurdle, and then now sing in front of everybody, and then that was the second one, and I'm the offspring of - you know, who I'm the offspring of - I had a few hurdles to get through, no doubt about it. But the scales never tipped in the other direction too much.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

Were it not for Scientology, ...

Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now.

Lisa Marie Presley 77 quotes

I think having kids just make...

I think having kids just makes you want to do things to help people. You have children and you see how fragile and innocent and helpless they are when they first start out. If they are going to be a victim of whatever they are surrounded by, I just do everything I can to try to make whatever change I can.

I saw a Velveeta commercial and it was playing, I think 'Burning Love.' He [Michael Jackson] had approved it - that's something we can't control. He can do whatever he wants with the songs he owns to make money, and that got under my skin.

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.
