Lisa Marie Presley Quotes

This was a huge lesson for me—the only way out is through. You must allow pain in to free yourself from it.

And if I was Lisa Marie Presley and I'd told you I was going to marry Michael Jackson because I liked the shape of his nose, or rather, noses, and he's just a sweet boy who loves children, I mean really loves children, and his dramatic change in appearance was undoubtedly a result of a genuine bona fide skin disease, would you have said anything?

In my family, there’s a long history of young girls becoming mothers—my great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother all had their first babies young, when they were just babies themselves.

My father was my mom’s biggest protector throughout her whole adult life. She had many friends that came and went, but he was there from when she was seventeen until the moment she died. He was the last person with her.

I believe that a body is just a body, and the spirit is ultimately inside of the physical shell, and I don’t think chemicals have anything to do with the spirit. They make the physical addiction to the body—but the root of the addiction comes from being really unhappy. That’s a spiritual problem.

Don't kill your best friend, he (Elvis) said. Words of wisdom.

I know that I acted like a princess sometimes. But it’s strange, because I was—am—filled with self-doubt. It was all very confusing.

I think most people have a natural instinct to rebel.” — ELVIS PRESLEY

looked at my face as a child and thought, My God, if only anyone could have told you what you were going to go through in this life, what you were going to be up against. That cute little blond-haired child in the matching dress with her mommy. It overwhelmed me.

But for me, the most compelling evidence that Elvis did indeed fake his own death was a tissue sample taken from a biopsy Elvis had in 1975 to check for Hepatitis. This shows the DNA is different to DNA obtained from Elvis's 1977 autopsy. A major news agency conducted an independent back up test, and the results were the same. The autopsy tissue purportedly Elvis's did not match the known tissue from the 1975 sample. This summarily proves that the person autopsied was not Elvis Presley. I’ll let you ingest that bit of information for a second… Yes, that’s correct. The DNA from Elvis’s liver biopsy taken in 1975 didn’t match the DNA taken from his autopsy. Mind blowing, huh? Fox news contacted Lisa Marie’s representatives and asked for a DNA sample so they could obtain the truth once and for all, but, surprise, surprise, she declined.
