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...

[Presley couldn’t be happier with her involvement in the Sam’s Town 250 NASCAR Busch Series race in her hometown of Memphis.] I’m looking forward to being the Grand Marshal at the Sam’s Town 250, …...

I think the West Coast will embrace NASCAR; there is more of an audience.

I got an early education on how bad men and women can act. Most of those people were sucking the life out of him.

After my father died, I stayed relatively sane for two years, although I did lose my noodle at summer camp right after my dad’s death. But when I hit 12, 13, that was it. I...

I’m just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy.

It’s rewarding in that I can hold my head up a little higher because people are not just looking at me because of my marriages or the tabloids or because of my lineage. A lot...

I’m being completely honest right now, and I might get my ass kicked, but would you honestly want someone dressed like your dead father in front of you while you’re working?

Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music.

Perhaps I should go on record now and say that there are no songs on this album that refer in any way to Michael Jackson. Sure, I’ve written a whole bunch of songs about him...

I have never met a man who could cope with me – who I am, the Presley name. I was always the dominant one in any relationship, and it’s unnatural for the woman to be...

I knew I was in for it, … when I asked him before we started that if I asked he would slow down. He didn’t answer.

Music has had a profound effect on me all my life. I wanted to be able to give that to others, believe it or not.

Facing the press is endlessly daunting for me. But I am learning to use it to my advantage. If the tabloids come up with the latest ridiculous lie about me – and they always do...

I got a crash-course in the whole arena — racers, their stories. … It’s amazing [that they] basically jeopardize their lives for our entertainment.

Scientology is an encyclopaedia for life. It’s non-denominational, it doesn’t judge, it’s a lot about self-discovery, and it helped me so much for one reason: it works. It helped me through my drugs, and it...

I think I’ve failed every test I’ve ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.

I don’t do yoga. I bite the hella outta my nails. I smoke, I eat all the wrong food, I don’t exercise.

I didn’t make this record to set the record straight or anything. I just wanted to put something out there, and I’m glad I have. I’d be having much more fun with all this if...

I use songs as weapons. I’ve written some really good, nasty songs about people I’ve been involved with and then I make sure they hear it somehow.

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...

My relationship with my mother is fine. It took us a while to get there, but it’s fine. Because we’re completely the opposites of each other, so we didn’t find our place with one another...

Power or celebrity, you walk a really fine line. It’s a struggle to keep your sanity, to keep on a straight line.

I write about subjects that are close to my heart, but not every one of them is necessarily about the men in my life. Maybe two or three at most … That’s why I called...

I guess having kids when you’re young, you have to grow up with them. I had my daughter at 21. They had to watch me go through stuff. It’s like, “”I’m still finding my way,...

How many people have a family grave in the backyard? I’m sure I’ll end up there, or I’ll shrink my head and put it in a glass box in the living room. I’ll get more...

I want a fingerprint of my own and I want credibility, and that’s all I want. I just want some substance to my existence.

I’m not doing this to be a pop star. I’ve had plenty of money and attention. I’m doing it for credibility.

I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.

I’m female, thank God, because if I was male this really would be difficult. And, of course, I don’t attempt to sound like my father – I do my own thing.

I had anything but a happy childhood. Two words: lonely and deep. I was very lonely and way too deep for someone so young.

The lyrics are more conceptual than anything. They’re not particularly about a person. They’re just metaphorical, conceptual, of a time and place, ideal, life, that I once knew.

I kinda got hooked.

For some reason, when I turned 30 I became a teenager again and it wasn’t really by my own will, it just happened. I married and had my first baby at 21, so I had...

I’ve been through enough in my time where I’ve needed to outlet it. If I can do that in a way where I’m going to touch others and affect others then I’d rather do it...

I’m sad about this but we shouldn’t have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake.

I’m doing it because music’s been such a profound influence on me and my whole life and gotten me through everything. I thought I could use this album as a vehicle, an outlet of whatever...

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

My kids are so much more together than I ever was. They’re my baby-sitters! It’s funny having kids when you’re young, because you grow up with them. There’s something to be said for having them...

If people are expecting me to be like my dad they’re going to be disappointed. I’m nothing like him. I’m in a completely different category.

She has big plans- she is making me a nervous wreck. She wants to make her own money, which I totally respect but she is still my baby.

Anything my father did for me or gave me was done out of love. I’m sure I had moments when I was a snot. But my mom was there to smack me back to the...
