“It seems to me hilarious that our government put the face of Elvis Presley on a postage stamp after he died from an overdose of drugs.

They ignore the fact that he was a drug addict and claim he invented rock ‘n’ roll when in fact he took it from black culture.”
Marlon Brando On Elvis Presley

“You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.”

“Unpleasant man. No one has yet worked out what really makes him tick. But he sings well.”
