Its pretty amazing to me that my first hit record was an Elvis Presley record. – Mac Davis
I didnt have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word, and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times. – Mac Davis
Dont Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, Im gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. – Mac Davis
If it was just me and Elvis one on one, which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him, it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy. Easy laugh, nice guy. – Mac Davis
We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. – Henry David Thoreau
