“It was Elvis, and they were going to have a party or something... So he came over to the house and... whoever was at the house knew that Elvis was coming over, so they were hiding behind the curtain. My father was out watering the garden. And he would always ask me to sing, and he'd want to sing harmony. And it was all very exciting.”
“I have learned that you can communicate on a very deep level with any living form. That's why my gardens bloom and my animals are so healthy-because I communicate with them.”
“We saw Elvis, and he was so happy to see us. And he loved the whole idea that we were going to run away. We were going to steal him. But it never happened... He went into a room... I'm sure there are a lot of drugs taken, and it turned into an hour and a half, and he came out and said... that was that. And I knew that he was gone. He was out of reach to us and made me very sad.”
“Once you have an animal, you have to commit to it. They need a sense of freedom, but, of course, they must have some boundaries. I am against hitting them though; just send the vibe and that will do it.”
“I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.”
“I love Siberians because they are so beautiful to look at. They are certainly not pushovers, though; you have to earn their respect and their love. They are very territorial and are very clean, which make them such great pets.”
