If you find yourself in a relationship or even a friendship with someone who's conflicted with their gender identity, just be kind. This is not a life choice. This is something that you are born with. This is like being born with a gene for being tall, short, black, white, gay, straight - it's not a choice.

Getting divorced was the right decision for me, but it's not the right decision for everyone else.

I think we do people a great disservice by putting them on a pedestal and not allowing them to be human.

For so long I just let people surmise what they would about my life and my choices, and other people have written books and told tales.

When I was with Elvis, I used to remind myself there's Elvis on the marquee and then there's the living, breathing Elvis.

I think that happens to a lot of people who find themselves thrust into the spotlight and becoming famous before they recognize what's happening to them. Life becomes a little distorted for them.

And as such, we need to be empathetic and understanding.
