My wife Kris and I enjoy keeping an active lifestyle, so it's hard to imagine what it would be like if breathing problems kept me from participating in the activities I love to do. But that's exactly what happens to many people who develop COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
We have a rich tradition here in the United States of great decathletes, which is amazing 'cause we have absolutely no program to develop these guys. Zero. There's nothing. They do it on their own, just like I did back in '76.
My mom is, for 89 years old, is extraordinarily open-minded.
Living by myself out in Malibu has been really good. I kind of have my freedom; I've got a whole house to myself. The tough part comes when sometimes, you know, you get pretty lonely.
I wish I were kind of normal. It would be so much more simple.
I wore U.S.A. across my chest in 1976.

Trans people deserve something vital; they deserve your respect. From that respect comes a more compassionate community.
There is kind of an underground conservative movement in Hollywood, really.
Fortunately, I have been very healthy all my life and very active all my life and have enjoyed an active lifestyle.
I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.
I have always actually been with and attracted to very strong women, and I think I've learned a lot from them.
I have made a lot of mistakes raising the four Jenner kids.
I have 10 children. I've got my eighth grandchild in the oven with Kimberly. I have all these wonderful kids.
