Elvis:

 “Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.” 

- Elvis often used this adaptation of a well-known quotation. 

“...the image is one thing and the human being is another...it’s very hard to live up to an image.” 
- From the press conference prior to his record-breaking Madison Square Garden shows in New York City, 1972 

     I just watched the new "Elvis" movie.  It was so sad. All the talent and money in the world don't necessarily lead to happiness, and can lead to tragedy. He was only 42 when he died in 1977.  It must have been difficult to be Elvis and live up to his own image. Here's video from his last performance shortly before his death.
