I want to write, I want to sing. I want to do the same thing for others, have my music, hopefully do that for others one day, not realizing what I sort of had to climb. I had an idea a little bit, but I think that I underestimated the whole thing.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I have, in the past, been attracted to really strong and dominant men. But on the other side, I have been attracted to very androgynous men. I don't typically fall for your average jock. I just like people that are a little atypical.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.

Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
When I first started performing, some people were there just out of curiosity. I think that happens less often then you'd think, but when it is happening it's very obvious and I can tell what's going on. I had some of that in the beginning, but I think that ultimately I got a pretty strong fan base based on just my personality alone, and my honesty, my music. So it wasn't based on anything else, and I did notice if someone else came looking for something else, they'd probably leave, or complain it was too loud or something.

Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.

Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, 'What?'
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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 tourists to Graceland that way.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I don't do yoga. I bite the hella outta my nails. I smoke, I eat all the wrong food, I don't exercise.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.

Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I'm just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this. I wanted people to know who I am based on my music, not on what they read in the tabloids.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the '70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
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 drawn to the darker, sadder songs.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted.
Quote by -Lisa Marie Presley
I've never even been out of my BMI range. I'm 5-foot-3. If I gain five pounds, it shows.
