The King:
"I'm nervous every time I do it. It's not something you get accustomed to.
It never gets like driving a taxi or working in a Sears lawnmower assembly line. It's nothing like that. There's
always that kind of excitement, you know. That chance of danger."
"Never give a fan a bad time.
If I'm just dining by myself or with two or three friends, and somebody comes up and asks for an autograph, then I give
them an autograph. I always date it -- might be worth something to someone some day. Never give a fan a bad time,
and never be shocked by anything anyone says -- ever." John Holmes - John Holmes: A Life Measured in Inches
