Priscilla Presley's Quotes

• [her reaction to Suzanne Finstad's 1996 biography of her, "Child Bride"] Talk about 5 minutes [of fame]! There are people in that book I've never even heard of. That woman made me out to be some kind of prostitute. I dated. But that was just my life...
• [on marrying Elvis Presley] I was so young and naive at the time, there was just no way I could have made a success of that marriage. I realized I couldn't give him the kind of adulation he got from his fans, and he needed that adulation desperately. Without it he was nothing.
• I don't care about being a superstar, but I feel I have something to give and to share, and if I can do that and maintain my values...well, I can.
• [about her guest arc on Melrose Place (1992)] Writers had envisioned a Nurse Ratched, right out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). I saw her differently. There's already so much bitchiness on the show, and I didn't want to do what the audience would expect.
• [on why she won't marry Marco Garibaldi, 1988] Marriage is somewhat of a business, and as of now our relationship is not a business.
