Elvis Presley - Entrevista no Canadá, 1957

Durante sua turnê pelo Canadá Elvis conversou com a imprensa Canadense (que será identificada pela sigla IC daqui em diante). A seguir trechos de perguntas e respostas realizadas durante entrevistas do cantor no país. E aí Elvis, o que foi que você disse mesmo?

IC: É a sua primeira vez no Canadá?

Elvis: Sim. É a minha primeira viagem para o Canadá.

IC: Qual é a sua primeira impressão de nosso país?

Elvis: Bom, eu estava me apresentando em Toronto na noite passada e fiquei realmente surpreso com a reação do público, o quão maravilhoso ele é. A platéia foi tão amigável, as pessoas dessa parte do Canadá realmente são ótimas.

IC: Elas certamente o esperavam há muito tempo.

Elvis: Eu estava querendo cantar aqui. Quando soube da minha nova turnê eu disse aos organizadores que eu queria ir até o Canadá. Na realidade venho tentando há mais de um ano mas eles achavam que eu ainda não era suficientemente conhecido por aqui. Um ano e meio atrás as pessoas não me conheciam o suficiente. 

IC: Isso parece inacreditável!

Elvis: Pois é, mas depois perceberam que eu poderia dar certo por aqui.

IC: Não há dúvida sobre isso agora! Elvis você certamente já é mais popular que Frank Sinatra em seu auge.

Elvis: ...

IC: Elvis você tem consciência de sua importância no show business?

Elvis: Sim, eu tenho. Só que eu não gosto de pensar muito sobre isso. Eu tenho medo de descobrir o tamanho que isso tudo tomou...

IC: Você recentemente construiu uma casa própria?

Elvis: Bem, eu não a construí, só a comprei. É uma bela propriedade (Elvis se refere a Graceland) Fica a cerca de dez Km de onde eu moro agora (em Audubon Drive). Tínhamos que encontrar um lugar maior já que eu tenho tanto lixo acumulado de todos esses anos! (risos). Eu já não sabia onde colocar aquilo tudo (risos)

IC: Você vai morar com seus pais lá?

Elvis: Sim.

IC: Você é apenas uma criança não é mesmo?

Elvis: Sim, senhor. (risos)

IC: Elvis você está namorando atualmente?

Elvis: Sim, mas não há nenhuma garota em especial. Quer dizer, quando estou em Memphis vejo algumas garotas por lá, mas nada sério ou especial.

IC: Você gostaria de casar um dia?

Elvis: Provavelmente sim, algum dia.

IC: Você acha que um casamento abalaria sua popularidade entre as fãs?

Elvis: Provavelmente sim. Mas não se preocupem com isso, eu não tenho qualquer plano de casamento. Eu ainda não conheci uma pessoa tão especial assim para pensar nisso.

IC: O que você acha de seu estilo de cantar? Você foi muito influenciado pela música country ou pop? Ou acredita que foi influenciado por ambos?

Elvis: Eu gosto de ambos mas eu gosto mais de Rock ´n´ Roll do que qualquer outra coisa. Rock é a música que eu coloco mais de mim mesmo.

IC: Você gostaria de deixar alguma mensagem para seus fãs canadenses?

Elvis: Claro. Eu gostaria de dizer que adorei profundamente o público canadense. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, recebi cartas maravilhosas de todos esses lugares e queria agradecer. Ultimamente tenho recebido mais mensagens desses locais do que em qualquer outro lugar dos Estados Unidos.

IC: Isso é Maravilhoso!

Elvis: Eu não estou dizendo isso apenas porque estou aqui no Canadá. É verdade, e essa foi uma das razões porque eu sempre quis vir aqui nesse país, para retribuir a todos que enviaram cartas e presentes. São tantas que mal posso contar.

IC: Isso deve fazer seus fãs felizes. Foi um prazer falar com você, Elvis.

Elvis: Muito obrigado.

Elvis Presley - Entrevista, 1957 - Parte 2

Imprensa: O que é este lindo anel em sua mão esquerda?

Elvis Presley: É uma estrela de safira. Uma garota me deu esse anel na Califórnia.

Imprensa: Elvis, você fuma maconha para ajudá-lo a entrar em transe, antes do show?

Elvis Presley: (Elvis dá uma risada debochada)

Imprensa: O que é mais difícil para você? Fazer filmes, TV ou colocar o pé na estrada para fazer shows?

Elvis Presley: Bem, viajar é a parte mais dura. É realmente difícil. Você está numa cidade, faz um show, sai de cena, entra no carro e vai para a próxima cidade e tudo se repete mais uma vez. É cansativo.

Imprensa: Após o show, como você gosta de relaxar?

Elvis Presley: Bem, vamos tomar por base o show que fiz na noite passada. Fizemos um show em Vancouver e não consegui dormir até por volta das dez horas de hoje. Você simplesmente fica ligado demais para poder conseguir dormir. Tudo estava acertado para que eu chegasse hoje em Los Angeles, mas tudo ficou atrasado por causa desse show da noite anterior.

Imprensa: O que você faz antes de um show para diminuir a carga de excitação e tensão?

Elvis Presley: Eu apenas ando de um lugar a outro, bem devagar...

Imprensa: Queria dar-lhe uma oportunidade para defender-se de uma série de boatos a seu respeito que têm sido publicados. Seu estilo de dançar enquanto canta tem sido selvagemente criticado, mesmo por críticos costumeiramente gentis. Você tem algo a dizer contra eles?

Elvis Presley: Não, não mesmo. É apenas seu trabalho e eles o fazem.

Imprensa: Como você sente a reação dos jovens em relação a você, especialmente garotas? Elas sabem quem você é e daí por diante?

Elvis Presley: Bem, (risos) esta é uma pergunta um tanto quanto difícil...

Imprensa: Isto é realmente uma pergunta difícil, Elvis, porque todos sabem que a platéia fica louca por você. Existe algum tipo de relacionamento entre você e suas fãs?

Elvis Presley: Sim, convivo realmente bem com elas. Com todos os meus fãs. Na realidade, quando termino meu trabalho e vou para casa, eles me acompanham... trazem suas famílias, acampam ao redor de Graceland, principalmente nos finais de semana... e tiram fotos comigo.

Imprensa: Deve ser algo bem excitante.

Elvis Presley: É, sim, muito excitante e legal. É uma coisa saudável.

Imprensa: Você acha que o rock'n'roll e sua popularidade vão diminuir enquanto você estiver no exército?

Elvis Presley: É difícil dizer. Tudo que posso dizer é que espero que não...

Imprensa: Para você será um alívio se ver livre de caçadores de autógrafos e garotas histéricas?

Elvis Presley: Não. Quando você se acostuma a isso e ninguém chega para pedir autógrafos ou se ninguém o incomoda, você começa a se preocupar. Conforme eles começam a chegar, você sabe que eles ainda gostam de você, e isso o faz sentir-se bem.

Imprensa: Tivemos conhecimento de que você chegou às vias de fato com algumas pessoas. O que lemos nos jornais é verdade?

Elvis Presley: Sim senhor, eu imagino.

Imprensa: O que aconteceu? Você perdeu a paciência?

Elvis Presley: Foi somente um caso de bater ou apanhar, você sabe.

Imprensa: O que quem começado esses incidentes na maioria das vezes?

Elvis Presley: Alguém me bate ou tenta me bater. Quero dizer, posso aceitar tentativas de me ridicularizarem ou me caluniarem, inventam nomes e os dizem na minha cara e por aí vai. Contudo, alguns caras chegam e tentam me atingir. Naturalmente não posso ficar parado.

Imprensa: Qual é o seu esporte favorito Elvis?

Elvis Presley: Football (logicamente Elvis se refere ao futebol americano)

Imprensa: Você gosta de jogar Football?

Elvis Presley: Sim.

Imprensa: Onde foram tiradas aquelas fotos suas jogando football e que foram publicadas na revista de um fã clube?

Elvis Presley: Elas foram tiradas num campo perto de casa.

Imprensa: Fora dos limites de Memphis?

Elvis Presley: Sim.

Imprensa: E quanto a sua famosa coleção de Teddy Bears?

Elvis Presley: Ah! Isso tudo começou por causa de um boato. Foi publicado um artigo segundo o qual eu colecionava ursinhos de pelúcia e então me vi em um mar de ursinhos dados pelos fãs, teddys de todos os tipos. Na verdade, eu os guardo porque as pessoas me dão de presente, mas nunca cheguei nem mesmo perto de pensar em colecioná-los, em nenhum momento de minha vida.

Imprensa: Você gosta deles agora porque os tem ou apenas os guarda?

Elvis Presley: Eu os guardo. Tenho todos espalhados pelas paredes e cadeiras em toda a casa.

Elvis Presley - Entrevista, 1957 - Parte 1

Imprensa: Você lê tudo o que se publica sobre você na imprensa?

Elvis Presley: Não, se eu puder evitar.

Imprensa: Você costuma arquivar reportagens?

Elvis Presley: Somente as boas.

Imprensa: Que tipo de adolescente foi você? Você considera que foi bem comportado?

Elvis Presley: Sim. Fui criado num lar muito decente e tudo o mais. Meus pais sempre me ensinaram a comportar-me, quer eu quisesse ou não.

Imprensa: O que você faz com quatro cadillacs?

Elvis Presley: Não sei. Nunca tive uso para os quatro.

Imprensa: Você deu um deles a sua mãe, não é verdade?

Elvis Presley: Tudo o que é meu é deles. Planejo ter sete, quero dizer, desejo ter sete... Estive pensando num lote de carros usados Presley.

Imprensa: Sabemos que você comprou uma casa para seus pais e, embora seu pai tenha apenas 39 anos, você insistiu para que ele se aposentasse. Isto é verdade?

Elvis Presley: Sim, ele pode ajudar mais em casa, porque pode tomar conta dos meus negócios e olhar tudo, enquanto eu não estiver por perto.

Imprensa: Você causa uma histeria em seu jovem público. Quando você dança se movimenta de uma forma diferente, não é uma reação involuntária à reação da platéia?

Elvis Presley: Involuntária? Estou sempre ciente daquilo que faço, mas é apenas como me sinto.

Imprensa: Estávamos comparando a reação de seu público com, por exemplo, um jogador de futebol que atua melhor como resposta ao incentivo da torcida.

Elvis Presley: Está Certo. Acho que todo artista melhora seu desempenho quando percebe que está agradando.

Imprensa: Falando sobre canções religiosas, se você lançar um LP ou single, que música incluirá ? Você já pensou sobre isso ? Já conhece algum gospel?

Elvis Presley: Conheço praticamente cada canção religiosa já escrita.

Imprensa: O que você acha de Pat Boone ?

Elvis Presley: Acho que é, sem dúvida, a melhor voz do momento, especialmente em músicas românticas. Não estou dizendo isso só por dizer, mas realmente penso assim. Boone gravava antes de mim e compro seus discos desde então.

Imprensa: Que chances você acha que uma cantora teria de conseguir figurar entre as dez mais das paradas de sucesso ?

Elvis Presley: Você está se referindo a alguma cantora em especial ?

Imprensa: Não, de cantoras em geral.

Elvis Presley: Não sei. Ainda não vi nenhuma. Acredito que isso vai depender de tipo de músicas que elas cantem. Aquilo que você grava pode levantá-lo ou derrubá-lo. Se você canta uma boa música, ela vai vender, se apresentar um material ruim, não.

Imprensa: Qual é a sua cantora favorita no momento ?

Elvis Presley: Patti Page e Kay Star.

Imprensa: Qual é a sua canção favorita dentre todas que já gravou ?

Elvis Presley: Don't Be Cruel.

Imprensa: Andaram dizendo que as únicas extravagâncias são seus carros. Isto é verdade ?

Elvis Presley: Sim, é verdade. Nunca pensei quanto extravagante isso é, porque tenho muitos carros, quero dizer, ninguém os dirige. Eles ficam parados lá até os pneus murcharem. Na verdade eu não preciso de quatro. Foi só uma loucura.

Imprensa: E quanto às suas camisas ?

Elvis Presley: Vou dizer-lhe o que fiz outro dia. Tenho um pequeno carro alemão, um Messerschmidt, e havia um cara que durante o ano passado quis muito esse carro. Ele tem uma loja de roupas, uma das melhores de Memphis. Hoje fui lá e disse-lhe: "Você tem desejado muito esse carro, não é? Pois vou oferecer-lhe um negócio. Deixe me pegar todas as roupas que quero" Assim fiquei por lá por cerca de duas horas e meia e esvaziei a loja em troca do carro.

Imprensa: Alguma coisa mais que queira nos dizer?

Elvis Presley: Bem, gostaria de dizer que agradeço toda a ajuda que vocês têm me dado e quero dizer o quanto adoro essas pessoas maravilhosas que têm escrito sobre mim, comprando meus discos, assistindo meus shows. Afinal, o que importa é o público. Ele o levanta ou o derruba. Quero entreter as pessoas. Por toda a vida - até meus últimos suspiros. Mais do que tudo, quero ser bom ator. Do tipo destes que estão por aí há tanto tempo. Mas, não quero parar de cantar nunca. Quando a música começa, eu tenho que me movimentar.
