"I always said, when it came to music, my boy knows best. But the special was my idea. It was a tremendous hit. We was back on top. But some people were putting ideas in his head that he didn't need me no more."

"Since the day he was born, she had feared losing her second son. While he was in basic training, she worried and drank. Worried and drank."

"Those know-it-all hippies had brainwashed Elvis, acting like he was one of them radicals, throwing his career away to sing spirituals with a bunch of longhairs."

"Austin Butler - Elvis Presley"

"He had no idea what he had done."

"Now, I don't know nothing about music. But I could see in that girl's eyes, he was a taste of forbidden fruit. She could have eaten him alive!"

"It was the greatest carnival attraction I'd ever seen. He was my destiny. Right under my nose... in Memphis. Just why a truck driver from Memphis, Tennessee, liked to hang out on Beale Street, I do not know. But it did him no favors, fitting into them white housing projects. He was crazy for that Beale Street music. Beale Street style. He had Beale Street stars in his eyes."

"For those of you who are wondering who this fella here is, I am the legendary Colonel Tom Parker. I am the man who gave the world Elvis Presley. Without me, there would be no Elvis Presley. And yet, there are some who'd make me out to be the villain of this here story."

"No, no, I didn't kill him. I made Elvis Presley. Nothing all those muckrakers said in their books was true. Me and Elvis, we was partners. It was Elvis the Showman and the Colonel the Snowman. I always knew I was destined for greatness. As an orphan, I ran away to the carnival, where I learned the art of the "snow job," of emptying a rube's wallet while leaving them with nothing but a smile on their face. But a carnival act that would get you the most money, the most snow, had great costumes and a unique trick, that gave the audience feelings they weren't sure they should enjoy. But they do. And I knew if I could find such an act, I could create the greatest... show... on... Earth."

"The papers say I shot my mother and smoke marijuana."

"It doesn't matter if you do ten stupid things, as long as you do one smart one."

"I'm going to do what I want to do. Sing the music that I want."

"A reverend once told me, "When things are too dangerous to say... sing.""

"I just got to be making the most of this thing while I can. This could be over in a flash."

"Comic book heroes all find their superpowers. Elvis found music."

"I'm ready. Ready to fly."

"I'm going to show you what the real Elvis is like tonight!"

"I‘m so tired of playing Elvis Presley. People rely on me."

"If I can't move, I can't sing."

"Are you born with a destiny? Or does it just come knocking at your door?"

"Some people wanted to put me in jail, because of the way I was moving."

"There's a lot of people saying a lot of things. But in the end, you got to listen to yourself."
