(Mar.30, 2005)

The Oprah Winfrey Show (03/28/05) Lisa Marie Presley on Her New Love, Marriage and Elvis Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, has been famous since the day she was born. Lisa Marie was the apple of her father's eye. He showered his young daughter with elaborate gifts. Elvis even named his jet after her. When Lisa Marie was just 4 years old, her parents went their separate ways. The divorce left Lisa Marie splitting her time with Elvis in Memphis at Graceland and Priscilla in Los Angeles. Then on August 16, 1977, the world heard the heartbreaking news: Elvis Presley was dead. At 9 years old, Lisa Marie's life was changed forever. She struggled through her teens and admits experimenting with drugs. However, she eventually turned her life around, found love and married musician Danny Keough. They had two children―daughter, Riley, and son, Benjamin. Lisa Marie and Danny later divorced. For the most part, Lisa Marie was able to avoid the headlines until her high profile and short-lived marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage. Now she's taking an opportunity to step into the spotlight, to define herself and her style, with a new CD titled Now What. Lisa Marie has tried to maintain a relatively low profile and says that her reputation for being tough is not entirely warranted. "You have to sort of get a protective skin outside, even if it's not real," she says. "I think that was a survival mechanism [for me]." Lisa Marie says that she is conflicted about having grown up in the public eye. "I'm not someone who desires or wants attention," she says. "I've never been one of those people that run around, you know, walking every red carpet and going to every opening of every envelope, doing Presley perfumes and singing Elvis cover songs. I'm just innately not the type of person that wants attention on me. This has been my biggest battle, and it's why it took me so long to do a record. I had to really find how to be okay with all of that before doing it." She says this CD provides a chance to define herself to the world. "When I put the record out I realized how much was there prior to me introducing myself and coming out in public and talking. I was like, 'You have no idea who I am.' I'm introducing myself to you for the first time and you have all of these pre-conceived [ideas] of me." Lisa Marie was married to Michael Jackson for nearly two years, between 1994 and 1996. Some have openly questioned the nature of their relationship. Oprah: You said you loved him. Lisa Marie: Yes. Oprah: Do you think he loved you? Lisa Marie: It's hard for me to answer that question. I don't know the answer to that, to be honest with you. Oprah: Do you think that he loved you as much as he could? Lisa Marie: Yes, as much as he was capable of loving somebody. Oprah: Do you think he used you? Lisa Marie: This seat is hot, let me tell you! Do I think he did? All signs point to yes on that. I can't answer for him. Lisa Marie married for the third time in 2002, to actor Nicolas Cage. Their volatile relationship ended quickly, with Nicolas filing for divorce after just 108 days. Lisa Marie says although she was upset by the breakup, things are better between them now. "I have to give him credit, you know. That was not a fun time for either of us. He did redeem himself in the end and we did become very good friends after that. We're better like that. And he's happily married and has a baby coming now, which is great." Lisa Marie says that having children with her first husband, Danny Keough, was one of the best things she has ever done. Lisa Marie and Danny were together for about eight years, and Lisa Marie says she knew at age 19 that Danny was the person she wanted to have children with. "I've never had that same instinct with a man, you know, knowing that it would be all good, safe," she says. "I knew that no matter what happened we would always be connected, and I don't know how I knew that at such a young age but I instinctively knew that and had those children with him and we are like best friends; brother and sister." Lisa Marie says she and Danny raise their two children together, and that he even lives on her property. "We have like a compound so he has his house and we spend holidays together," she says. "It's hard to have that kind of relationship with your ex…but I think it's very important if you have children with somebody to keep your responsibility. You don't need to put what you guys went through or what you had with each other on the children." Oprah: Are you proud of your mothering skills? When you look at yourself as a mother, where would you rate yourself? Scale 1 to 10. Lisa Marie: An 8. Oprah: I think 8 is about as good as you can do! What do you think you're best at as a mother? Lisa Marie: Just overwhelming them with affection and love. They need to push me off of them constantly…I'm crazy about them and they know it. And then having that, versus being their friend―trying really hard to be their friend as well as be a mother. That's the fence you walk, which is important because you can't go too much on one side or the other. Oprah: How do you instill in them what's important as a human being? As a citizen of the world, your community, when you've got everything? Lisa Marie: You have to be an example. I'm not somebody who sits around. I'm not happy unless I'm helping other people. And they watch me and they see that. You have to just be a good example. The public rarely heard from Lisa Marie until she found her own voice and shared it with the world. Lisa Marie's sound and look reveal a haunting resemblance to her legendary dad! In the songs featured on her new CD, Now What, Lisa Marie says she bares her soul. Oprah: Do you always feel like you're being compared to your father or have you reached a place where you're comfortable; you can embrace it; you can use it to infuse your own life and not reject it, or not feel like, "Oh, people are always thinking about him when they're thinking about me?" Lisa Marie: I think that that was a huge mountain to climb and ultimately, you know, there is going be some of that there, and I do embrace it. I understand that part of it. Oprah: Are you still trying to say, "No, I have my own life. I have my own identity." Lisa Marie: No, I'm trying to find a good balance between the two. It's not that I want to push that away. You can't do that. Oprah: That is very smart on your part. The fact, first of all, you look like him! And that's a good thing. And that is a part of who you are. The Oprah Winfrey Show (03/29/05) Exclusive: Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley's First Mother/Daughter Interview Together Oprah was so fascinated by Lisa Marie Presley in their first interview together that they literally ran out of time! Before Lisa Marie's mother joins the show, Oprah wants to know about the new man in Lisa Marie's life. Lisa Marie says Michael Lockwood, the musical director in her band, is "perfect" for her. Lisa Marie: We'd already worked together for a year and we were on the road together so we already knew very well what we were getting into. By perfect, I don't mean literally. I just mean for me. Like the soul mate thing, the best friends, the whole ―we do everything together and, no, I'm not wearing a ring. Oprah: Are you done with marriage? Lisa Marie: I would never say I'm done with it. I think I would get married if I want to have more children. Priscilla Presley is here for her first TV interview with her daughter! How did Lisa Marie's mother become the First Lady of Rock 'n' Roll? Priscilla Beaulieu was just 14 when she met 25-year-old Army private Elvis Presley in Germany in 1959. Despite their age difference, the two had an instant connection. After completing his tour of duty, Elvis returned to America. Two years later, he asked Priscilla's father if she could move to Graceland. It nearly tore the family apart, but in the end her father agreed and Priscilla attended her senior year of high school in Memphis. It was a life unlike any other American teenager―by day, she was a high school student; at night, she was Elvis's girlfriend. In 1967, Elvis and Priscilla were married in Las Vegas. Since her days with Elvis, Priscilla went on to become her own woman, of course. She's an actress, an author, a producer and mother to Lisa Marie and a son, Navarone, who's 18. Priscilla says the Elvis she knew―and the life they led together―was very different from the one the public knew. "I met a very vulnerable Elvis," she says of her first meeting with "the King." "I didn't really see him as a movie star. I got to see a side of Elvis that very few people got to see. He had just lost his mother a year before that and he was in the Army in Germany, a very foreign place to him. And he was just like a little boy, really…So I was someone that he really confided in and talked to at the time." Priscilla says their world was like a bubble. "We had our own friends. We traveled with them constantly. We ate with them. We worked with them. We [took] trips and bus trips and planes and vacations, and it wasn't a real life. It was really our own world entirely with the same people. Elvis very rarely associated with anyone in Hollywood, believe it or not. He was a Memphis, Tennessee, boy and he would go back to Graceland and that was his refuge. That was where he, you know, thrived." Priscilla says she tried very hard to raise a daughter who was grounded. But Elvis often would spoil Lisa Marie with lavish gifts. Priscilla says she would take the gifts― including a diamond ring he gave Lisa Marie when she was 6 years old―and put them away in a closet. "He gave her a fur coat―a mink coat," Priscilla recalls. "I think he gave it to her for her birthday and I said, 'You're not wearing this. This is not for you. You're 5 years old. You're not wearing a mink coat. I'm sorry. Excuse me.' So I called him up and I said, 'What are you doing?' So it was just too much." Priscilla says Elvis, who grew up very poor, just wanted to give his daughter things he didn't have. "And even though a child doesn't put a lot on it, others put a lot on it," Priscilla says. "The comments from other people…that really bothered me because I didn't want her to grow up as we know many privileged children are. Excess is really horrible. If you're not ready for it, it really does disturb your judgment." After Elvis's death, Lisa Marie moved to live full time with Priscilla in Los Angeles. Priscilla says she was worried about the effect of that city on Lisa Marie. "L.A. is not really a place to raise children," Priscilla says. "There's too much excess there. There's too much of everything there. And my battle was trying to keep her away from all of that, and that's why I sent her to a school about two hours away, thinking that would be a way of keeping her out of the scene." There was even a time in which Priscilla tried to instill some sophistication in Lisa Marie. "I wanted you to go to school in Europe," Priscilla says. "Study French. Be a model for the French, you know." How did Lisa Marie like her introduction to continental culture? "She sent me to Europe," she says. "Oh God, what a nightmare." As everyone knows, Graceland was Elvis's beloved home. Since his death, it has become the No. 1 tourist attraction in Memphis and the second-most-visited home in the United States―right behind the White House. However, the Presleys initially resisted opening Graceland to the public. "It took a long time to decide after he passed away," Priscilla says. "But there weren't really enough finances there to keep it going. We had a staff that was with us for years and years and years, and we had to let everyone go. It was a shock. We had estate taxes coming in, we had government taxes. … Again, it wasn't an overnight decision." However, rumors have spread recently that the Presley family sold Graceland. Priscilla dismissed them simply, saying, "No, it is not sold." The confusion, she says, stems from a recent licensing deal. "We were looking for years for a strategic partner to help us grow," Priscilla explains. "We've been open for 25 years now. We're a private company, and we thought, 'Gosh, we'd like to be able to reach those people who can't afford to come to Graceland. We have fans all over the world.' So we found this particular partner who was on the same page as we were and basically took the licensing, and that is really what was taken." "See, they're two different things," Lisa Marie explains. "There's the Elvis Presley Estate, which [are] the things in the house and all of his stuff, which will never be touched. [We sold] 85 percent of the licensing and marketing―we still own 15 percent. But everything [in Graceland] is still ours. It will never be touched. A lot of that money went back into the forming of a bigger company, which is going to expand it and make it even bigger and make it go places it hasn't been able to go." Although they are close now, Priscilla and Lisa Marie say it's only been in the last few years that they have been really able to bond. Lisa Marie: I think it was just―we're so the opposite of each other, if you haven't noticed already. My demeanor immediately went into [that of] a 15 year old when she walked out here! I think it was just that she's got a china shop and I'm the bull that comes in. I mean, I'm more abrasive. She's very poised, which is great. And I'm the way I am. And I think that that just couldn't find a way to blend. Oprah: How do you explain it, Priscilla? Priscilla: I've probably been the force in her life that put discipline on her, which she needs, excuse me. And I think that's a good thing. I hope that it's a good thing! You know, I'm honest with her. In this business you find very few people who are honest; who will tell you the truth. And I think I'm that sounding board for her even though she does her own thing and always has done her own thing. So I'm the one person that has really been the one with the discipline and she probably [resented that.] Priscilla says that she found out about Lisa Marie's first marriage, to musician Danny Keough, only on the day of their wedding by phone. But even that was better, she says, than how she found out about Lisa Marie's marriage to Michael Jackson. "There were helicopters over my home to see if she was coming over, see what I would do," Priscilla says of the press anticipating her reaction to the marriage. "Drown myself in the pool? I don't know," she adds jokingly. Finishing the story, Lisa Marie explains how she told Priscilla. "You called me and said, 'Oh God, there's helicopters above the house,'" Lisa Marie says. "'They're saying you married Michael Jackson.' And then I was silent." Priscilla holds out hope to this day that Michael Jackson actually loved Lisa Marie, and that their marriage involved legitimate reasoning on his part. "I want to believe he [loved her]," she says. "I would hate to believe that it was only for one thing, whether it be to maintain his popularity or to be associated somehow to her and her father. I really don't want to go there with that. It's just hard for me to believe that people do that. I mean, and she's really lovable." Despite initially trying to shield her from a music career and the "big shoes" she'd have to fill, Priscilla is supportive of Lisa Marie's singing. And what would Elvis think about Lisa Marie's new career? "I think he'd be so proud," Priscilla says. "I think he'd probably be giving her all kinds of advice. I think he'd also be there, trying to tell her what songs to sing and what not to sing and how to sing it. He had to have his hand in a lot of areas like that, of course. … I think he'd be really pleased." In the notes for her CD, Now What, Lisa Marie wrote a special message to her parents, thanking them and calling the three of them an "eternal unit, never broken."

Good Morning America (03/29/05) Lisa Marie Presley Still Edgy Elvis' Daughter Talks to 'GMA' About Her New Album, Michael Jackson and Her Rocky Relationship With Priscilla She told ABC News' Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America" today that she was "making her own fingerprint" with this album. 'I Just Had to Go Through That' Presley's ill-fated marriage to Michael Jackson left many people scratching their heads and wondering if the whole thing was some kind of bizarre publicity stunt. But Presley says her feelings for Jackson at the time were totally real. "Everything I said before stands," she told Sawyer. "I think for whatever reason, I had to go through that. I don't know why, I just had to go through that." Presley said she initially met Jackson when he invited her to talk about her music. She has said that he acted completely "normal." In a "Primetime Live" interview with Sawyer in 2003, Presley said of Jackson: "It's unfortunate that not a lot of people know who he really is. He doesn't let anybody see it. He was very quick to, the first time I met him, sit me down and go, 'Listen, I'm not gay. I know you think this, I know you think that.' " Presley also said in that 2003 interview she was quickly sucked in to Jackson's world. "I fell into this whole, 'You poor, sweet, misunderstood thing. I'm going to save you.' You know, I, I fell into that. I fell in love with him, I did," she said. Presley told Sawyer today that she knew nothing about the case against Jackson, who is now on trial on charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor and plied the boy with alcohol. Jackson has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing. Presley, whose marriage to Jackson lasted 18 months, said today she does not follow the media coverage of his trial, nor has she spoken to Jackson in several years. 'Like Oil and Water' On her new album, Presley also deals with her often-difficult relationship with her mother, Priscilla. In one song, called "Raven," she writes: "And I'll hear your stories/ That will fill your sad eyes/When you had raven hair. Hold your head up high/I know that I've been ruthless/I've been ruthless." Presley told Sawyer that the song is about the evolution of her relationship with her mother and characterized the two of them as "oil and water." "The toughest part was probably our choices in men along the way," said Presley. "That's kind of what got in the way of our relationship." Presley has been married three times ― to Jackson, from 1994 to 1996; to actor Nicolas Cage in 2002, a union that lasted 108 days; and to musician Danny Keough, from 1988 to 1994. Keough is the father of her two children, Riley, 16, and Benjamin, 13. Now, Presley says she and Priscilla have finally "blended," and gotten to a place where they accept each other for who they are. Presley says her relationship with Riley, who is embarking on a modeling career, is remarkably calm. "It's something I worked at in terms of not having had that with my mom, really focusing on being her mother and her friend. I try not to be too much of either," Presley said. Presley also has a new man in her life, 43-year-old Michael Lockwood, a musician who produced her most recent album. She told Vanity Fair magazine he is "the best thing that's ever happened to me." Presley will return to "Good Morning America" on May 15 to perform songs from the new album.

Haward Stern Show (03/30/05)

WHO'S THE "IDIOT?" Lisa Marie Presley came in to promote her new album "Now What" that's due out April 5th. Howard said she looks good despite the fact that the tabloids had recently reported her to be overweight. Her theory was that the tabloids wanted to paint her to be heading down the same path her father took near the end of his life. Howard asked what her father would have done if he was alive and she brought Howard home? She didn't answer. Lisa's been with her current boyfriend for a year and a half and is very happy. Howard said she shouldn't get married again as it will never last because she's not the marrying kind. She claimed that this relationship WOULD last, even though Howard brought up her 3 previous marriages, which obviously didn't. Lisa talked about how her 16-year-old model daughter is a good kid and has a good head on her shoulders. Howard thinks it's going to be hard to keep her in line because she's so hot. Gary Dell'Abate came in to ask about a guy her mom used to date who wrote a book after they broke up in which he said he was attracted to Lisa Marie when she was developing physically, between the ages of 12-15. She confirmed this and said that he used to come into her room at night, but she never let it go anywhere and that it was disgusting. Howard talked about her Scientology faith, which other celebrity Scientologists she's friends with and how often she hangs out at the Scientology center. Ralph called in to remind Howard of the last time she was on the show, Howard had thought she was very into him then and thought he could've gotten her if he wasn't with Beth. Then they saw her on Letterman and she was saying the exact same things to Letterman that she had been to Howard! The guys joked that she probably did the same thing to Dan Rather and Larry King too. Howard played a track from her new CD called "Idiot," and asked if it was about Michael Jackson. She said it was about some guy she dated who wasn't famous; she had just had enough of him. She said she's glad there's a SIRIUS Satellite Radio because she thinks her CD won't get a lot of radio play. Howard joked that if she was "nice" to him and puts out a little, he'd get her CD played every day.

Out of the shadows As a solo artist, Lisa Marie Presley keeps exploring life beyond Dad and ex-husbands. By Robert Hilburn, LA Times Staff Writer With its nearby horse trails and lovely, secluded grounds, Lisa Marie Presley's five-acre spread on the western edge of the San Fernando Valley is so relaxing it invites the imagination to run free. It's easy to picture Elvis himself strolling the property with his two grandchildren. Rock's greatest star would have turned 70 this year and, no matter how much he loved the concert stage, he surely would have settled into seclusion by now ― preferring the company of his daughter and her family to singing "Hound Dog" one more time to the AARP crowd. Lisa Marie, always the apple of his eye, was only 9 when Elvis died at age 42, just five years older than she is now. But she feels a strong connection. There are candid photos on the piano of her father, alongside shots of her 12-year-old son, Benjamin; 15-year-old daughter, Riley; and her current beau, guitarist and record producer Michael Lockwood. "I think about my dad all the time," says the 5-foot-3 singer, who also is close to her mother, Priscilla Presley. She's wearing a faded T-shirt, jeans and green, high-top Converse as she sits on the porch of her rustic, five-bedroom house. "I know there are things I've done that would puzzle him, but I think he would understand me. He was not this saint or this tidy pop star. He was one of the biggest rebels we've had in this country, yet some people want to put me on a pedestal.... But I'm not perfect. I'm not always socially acceptable or politically correct. All I'm trying to do is be true to myself, and making music is part of that." Presley's guard is down ― unlike two years ago when she resisted discussing her father in interviews to promote her debut album, even though the CD's most memorable track ("Lights Out") employed the image of her future gravesite at Graceland to describe how strongly she is tied to the Presley legacy. One reason she wanted to make an album, she explained at the time, was so she wouldn't be known only for her birthright and her famous ex-husbands. The CD was a good start, impressing many critics and selling enough to earn her a gold album that she initially displayed on her living-room wall. "I can't say I accomplished everything I set out to do with that album," she says, stirring a cup of tea. "I don't think I'll ever get past the point where lots of people will see me, first, as the daughter of Elvis Presley and, then, for the marriages. But I think I made progress. I've got at least a small thumbprint out there." No matter how much friends and advisors prepared her for the media curiosity she would encounter in the 2003 interviews, Presley wasn't prepared for the relentless questioning about her father and the short-lived marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage. "There were times when I really felt lost and wondered if I had the strength to keep making records," she says softly. "Even after I started opening for Chris Isaak, I didn't feel a connection with the audience because most people were coming to see him and were just curious about me for obvious reasons." The breakthrough came during a break on the Isaak tour when she headlined a show at the Stone Pony, the Asbury Park, N.J., club that Bruce Springsteen made famous. To her delight, fans knew her songs and even sang along. "That was a big turning point," she says. "It gave me reason to believe I could be accepted on my own, and sure enough I started getting fan letters and they weren't asking me what it was like being a Presley. They were talking about my songs. They said how some helped them through troubles. I had he
