It's so important to just be kind to one another because we aren't walking in that other person's shoes.

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

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.

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.

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