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 not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.
Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.
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?'
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.
I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.
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.
I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.
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.
With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare, I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails.
I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane.
I'm just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy.
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.
I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.
I don't do yoga. I bite the hella outta my nails. I smoke, I eat all the wrong food, I don't exercise.
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.
