Priscilla Presley

I lived somebody else's life. It was never about me, it was really about him on every level.

I mean, I had probably an illusion of being the wife that, you know, I wanted to create a home. I wanted to have children. I wanted him to be a husband. It was never going to be that way. It couldn't be that way.

I like the creative aspect of developing a project.

You know, Lisa, for the longest time, did not sing.

It was more that his career was going down again and he was tired of the songs. He was tired of the routine. And there was a point where he just kind of gave up. He couldn't face being 40. And he resorted to stimulants. There's a dark side there, a really dark side.

I just look at it, as it's something that I had to do. I had this vision that really, Graceland is suited for a king and it is his castle. And people really should see it, as he loved it.

I did, but I'm not real fond of giving interviews.

I don't want to be someone's entertainment.

At times he could be very critical. He didn't like prints on me. He didn't like stripes. He didn't like boldness. He said I was petite and that was taking away from my looks.

She would go to Memphis and this was after our divorce. And I would send her to Memphis to be with him.

You have to remember that when I met Elvis, you know, it wasn't the fanfare that it is today or even when he was here in the states and I was in Germany growing up.

Yes, the divorce was difficult. It was difficult.

You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that's inside that you've learned from that life period. There are really very few people I can share that with.

I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible.

I don't feel like a grandmother. I don't.

No one has really heard my side of the story, the adventure we had together, the transformation that I had going from a schoolgirl to a woman overnight.

You know, you know, obviously, if my daughter's happy, you know, then I don't have any problem.

There were the phone calls and Elvis had asked me to visit him in Los Angeles. This was in 1962.

And when Elvis was unhappy, believe me, everyone was unhappy.

There is a shyness about me, and I really need to get out more.
