July 2003: Lisa Marie Presley on being a part of Michael Jackson PR machine and tabloid press

“I never thought for a moment that someone like [Michael] could actually use me for any reason like that. It never crossed my mind, and I don't know why - I'm sure it crossed everybody else's.”

— Lisa Marie Presley: Rolling Stone Interview - April 20, 2003 (via rollingstone)

“I didn't know how long it would take [for Michael’s public image to decline], I didn't know when. I just knew there was going to be a karma situation. You can't possibly conduct yourself a certain way and get away with it. I knew the karma police were coming.”

— Lisa Marie Presley The Mirror Interview (July 10, 2003) (via mjfa.forum)

“Very possibly I'll never shake that," she says of the public image she acquired when she hit the tabloids as the girl who married Wacko Jacko, "but I don't care.” Well, she cares a little. “I don't want them to perceive me wrongly," she admits. "I mean, l'd rather them perceive me correctly and decide based on that what they think as opposed to some sensationalistic idea of me that I never had anything to do with.”

— Lisa Marie Presley: Post-Gazette Pop Music Critic Interview (July 17, 2003) (via mjfa.forum)

“I've realized that not saying anything isn't any good," she says. "Now that l'm out there, at least I have the opportunity (to respond). I can counteract them now, then it's done.”

— Lisa Marie Presley on July 21, 2003 (via mjfa.forum)

Tell me, were you honing in on me or my protection? / Because you considered I'd make a really good disciple / You no longer hold that power / Took me awhile / But I have your number / It's too bad I gave you myself then / You tell them that you're thinking about letting me back in / That I really want you / But you're not sure yet / Are you insane?

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Disciple” deleted from “To Whom It May Concern” (2003)

I'm waiting / I'm waiting for you to call, for you to fall

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Yellow to Blue” from “Now What” (2005)

TRUE CHAOS - A Jackley/Jevil "BIG SHOT"

[jackiefrostsenior]

If there was one thing I wanted to do with my tenure in the Superhero Squad, it would be finding out who killed my wife's mother and why. She had been an amazing woman, the reason we have superheroes in our day and age. If it wasn't for her, Presley's father would have never started the Superhero Squad and we wouldn't be what we are today.

I knew there wasn't a day that doesn't go by that my perfect wife doesn't miss her mother. I promised her when it happened that I would find who did this and take them down. I had only been a police lieutenant at the time, and I knew that my hands were tied because no agency in the U.S. had any leads and they were closing it unsolved.

How does a family get closure when something like that happens. I knew my wife would never get it if I didn't take matters into my own hands. I continued on with the police force, all the while training own my own and with a little help from my superhero alien wife, I became a formidable opponent in martial arts and instead of guns, I adopted a bow and arrow to fight with.

Thanks to my best friend and brother from another mother, not only do I have regular bows and arrows taking down the bad guys, but a array of gadget arrows that do many different things. I have grappling hooks and stun arrows, I have exploding tips with various different chemicals for different desired effects, and so much more. I wasn't your average Robin Hood.

But my wife was definitely my maid Marian. Beautiful and clever. Perfect and all mine. Unlike Robin Hood too, my Marian and I fight side by side. I may not be as powerful as her, but I am pretty skillful and all of the squad as a team is more formidable than any of us on our own.

I had just finished barbecuing dinner when I saw my beautiful wife in the distance approaching our home and backyard. When she touched down, I smiled at her, lifting the tray of grilled items. "Right on time, beautiful! Dinner is served!"

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DOODLE

April 2003: Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson not being anything like his public persona

“It’s unfortunate that not a lot of people know who [Michael] really is. He doesn’t let anybody see it! And he has some idea about how he should represent himself in public that he thinks works for him. Which is this sort of meek victim-ey, quiet thing he does, which is nothing like how he truly is. So he doesn’t allow a lot of people see that. When he wants to lock into you, and he wants to intrigue you, or capture you, or whatever he wants to do with you, he can do it. He’s very capable of doing that.”

— Lisa Marie Presley PRIMETIME Interview with Diane Sawyer (2003)

“I was always saying, 'People wouldn't think I was so crazy if they saw who the hell you really are: that you sit around and you drink and you curse and you're fucking funny, and you have a bad mouth, and you don't have that high voice all the time. I don't know why you think that works for you, because it doesn't anymore. […] You see a real person, who's very much the opposite of what he was presenting.”

— Lisa Marie Presley: Rolling Stone Interview - April 20, 2003 (via rollingstone)

“Michael [Jackson] was also interesting to hang out with. The better I got to know him, the more elusive he seemed. […] with Lisa Marie Presley, whom he was dating at the time, he would be somebody else entirely. […] Maybe she brought out the testosterone in him. I don't know.”

— David Foster, from “Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning Grammys” (2008)

My life will never be the same / 'Cause girl you came and changed / The way I walk / The way I talk / I cannot explain / These things I feel for you / But girl, you know it's true

April 17, 2003: Lisa Marie Presley on leaving her marriage to Danny Keough (“Rolling Stone”)

“I made the mistake of saying [to Michael] I was not happy in my marriage, and the courting started. And I left [my marriage] probably quicker than I would have, and that was probably one of the bigger mistakes of my whole life.”

“I was very torn because I broke up my family. I left my husband for Michael. I was having a hard time trying to process that. While I was with Michael I was still trying to process what I had done. I never could feel good about it. I felt like, how could I have done that to somebody and I have these two little ones.”

— Lisa Marie Presley Oprah Interview (2010)

“[Michael] called me from Vegas and invited me to join him again. I went to the Mirage, where he was staying […] At one point during the week I was there, Danny flew to Las Vegas and was trying to find us in the Mirage, banging on doors.”

— Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough, from “From Here to the Great Unknown” (2024)

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed / Creepin' with the girl next door / Picture this, we were both butt naked / Bangin' on the bathroom floor

Did you know I broke up my family?/ And the guilt is never gone / Mister did you / Say something to me? / Were you there this whole time? / Please excuse me / […] / Did you know I broke up my family? / Oh, the guilt it's really killing me / […] / Forgive me

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Excuse Me” from “To Whom It May Concern” (2003)

Early August, 1994: Lisa Marie Presley “New Bride” photoshoot (publication unknown)

“Every time I saw Michael, I had my hair done, wore an outfit, had my nails done - everything was perfect.”

“When [Michael] would come over her whole world would stop. The front gate would buzz, and a voice would say, "MJ is here." The drive from the gate to our house was about six minutes - in that time, my mom would be scurrying around to fix her lips and put her makeup on. […] My mom was a nail biter - she'd bite them down almost to the cuticle, then they'd be bloody, and she didn't want Michael to see them. She wanted to be the perfect woman for him - Michael never knew my mom smoked, for example - which, again, was not dissimilar to how her mother had been with her father. But after she and Michael had been together for a while, he finally told her he liked her nails the best when they were natural - he certainly didn't require her to be a perfect woman. She couldn't believe that she'd spent thousands of dollars on nails over an entire year, and he preferred the bitten ones.”

Early 2001: Lisa Marie Presley makes what she described as the hardest decision of her life: walk away from Michael Jackson

“At that time, in trying to save [Michael], I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated. […] I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it, somehow.”

— Lisa Marie Presley reaction to Michael Jackson’s death on her Myspace page - June 26, 2009 (via Oprah)

I can't stay indifferent / Because I know the outcome / […] You chose your path / Mine's wrong, you can say that

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Indifferent” from “To Whom It May Concern” (2003)

I don't respect the way you leave / You can be no friend to me / I'll say, I’ll say goodbye

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Gone” from “To Whom It May Concern” (2003)

The road to get to the other side of your rainbow / It wasn't for me, I guess / I couldn't live, not according to your path / Happily, at least / But damn it if I didn't give it a damn good shot / At least to try and be / And now, what do I do now? / I don't know / Cause I'm still leaving

— Lisa Marie Presley; “Now What” from “Now What” (2005)
