"And I just remember, you know, breaking into tears and feeling so empty because, as long as Elvis was in the world, you always knew something was going and he always had something that kept everybody mesmerized."

Feelings

Passion

"There was a lot of great writing couples, but I try to do it all myself. And it was practically impossible, but I still managed to be ahead of my time."
