More quotes by Lisa Marie Presley
Anytime I was in Memphis with my dad and at the house, I was happy. That was, like, a given. It was what I lived for. And I still feel the same excitement and warmth.
Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
I've been through a lot of stuff.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
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
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
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
Lisa Marie Presley
I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
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
I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.
Lisa Marie Presley
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
I always loved singing and writing poetry. I always loved music, and I’ve loved writing my whole life. When I put them together it was probably in my early 20s, where I put words to music for the first time.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
I'm still finding my way, and I made a lot of mistakes.
Lisa Marie Presley
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
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
You are always learning there is a lot of grey don't take things for granted.
Lisa Marie Presley
