More quotes by Lisa Marie Presley
I'm like a lion - I roar. If someone betrays me, I won't be a victim. I don't sulk, I get angry. I go immediately into retaliation. But it always comes from insecurity or pain.
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 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

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
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 dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not trying to promote it.
Lisa Marie Presley
I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.
Lisa Marie Presley
I think people think I'm harder and more arrogant and cocky than I am - because I know how to put on a front, but it's nothing like who I am inside.
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
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'm still finding my way, and I made a lot of mistakes.
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
On my US tour maybe three out of 30 shows there was an Elvis impersonator in the crowd but that's it. I usually get younger fans, and those that come that are of an older generation end up walking out because it's too loud
Lisa Marie Presley
I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.
Lisa Marie Presley
You are always learning there is a lot of grey don't take things for granted.
Lisa Marie Presley
I don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.
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.
