"You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else"
- Priscilla Presley
About this Quote
Priscilla Presley's quote speaks to the problem of browsing relationships when there are clashing messages from various sources. In her case, her partner was telling her one thing while her moms and dads were telling her something else. This can be a confusing and difficult situation to be in, as it can be difficult to know who to trust and who to believe. It can also be difficult to make decisions when there are clashing messages, as it can be difficult to know which one is the ideal one. Priscilla's quote speaks with the significance of trusting your own judgement and having the ability to make choices on your own, even when there are contrasting messages from different sources.
