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

I've never been attracted to women sexually and I wanted romance.

It's a disservice, really, when we put celebrated people on a pedestal and don't allow them to be human. It's a very lonely experience for the individual. It's not a sustainable way to live.

I grew up very conservatively and traditionally. I wanted to save myself for marriage.

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.

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.

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