Priscilla about submission in marriage: "It's something she'll be telling largely female audiences in her lectures: 'Honey, have your own thing going, too.' She learned the hard way that total submission in marriage -- by either party -- is a bad idea."

Priscilla looking back at her marriage: "She says she got to write very little of it, and that she doesn't regret the days in her gilded cage as Mrs. Presley. But she understands now what made it so unworkable in the end: 'I lived somebody else's life. It was never about me, it was really about him on every level.'"

Priscilla: "I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible. We had a closer bond, probably because the effort was off and there was just a purity. We realized that we liked each other, and that's very special."

Gerri Hirshey: "This is what Priscilla Presley would like the dreary Elvis mythologizers to understand: Act One was no grand American tragedy. Sure, she was devastated by her husband's sad demise, his infidelities, her own retaliative affair, the divorce. But the couple remained close, and she totally relied on him until his death when, as she puts it, "the sun went out."

Priscilla: "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."

Sonny West: "The fairy-tale marriage Priscilla likes to rhapsodize about today was, in reality, a complicated mess from the get-go. The truth of the matter is that they both led double lives, and the only thing they had in common was their love for Lisa Marie."
