Colonel Tom Parker

“When I first met Elvis, he had a million dollars' worth of talent. Now he has a million dollars.”

“I don't think I exploited Elvis as much as he's being exploited today.”

“You don't have to be nice to people on the way up if you're not coming back down.”

“I sleep very well at night.”

“I consider it my patriotic duty to keep Elvis in the 90-percent tax bracket.”

“That's my boy. He's a commodity.”

“I ain't no colonel. I'm just a snowman.”

“There’s no way to be a nice guy and be a promoter.”

“All I have is a product to sell.”

“The only thing that matters is what is on the sign outside, and what the name on the sign says.”
