As Conchita, I've got everything that I need to be glamourous and in the spotlight, giving interviews, doing photo shoots. And on the other side, there's Tom, this shy, boring boy. And I love to be shy and boring when I'm in private.
If I do a portrait, I know what they can take. If somebody's a sweet, shy person, the photographs will be sweet and shy. Of course, you ask people to do something which they might not have done before, but that's the journey, the fun element.
I am playing Elvis Presley in 'Hello Darling.' The project is really exciting for me because I get to play my idol.
The first song I wrote was called 'Baby Darling Darling Girl,' and you know what's funny? It went, 'Baby darling darling girl, I really love your Jheri Curl.' I thought it was tight as hell.
Elvis was really sweet and kind of bashful, but he didn't have a whole lot to say.
I can be very shy. I really like to stay at home with my people because I'm really shy. My wife is as well; we're both really shy.
I think I'm a really sweet guy, kind of shy and nice and stuff.
Elvis is everywhere. Elvis is everything. Elvis is everybody. Elvis is still The King.
Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.
I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives, When martyred flowers breathe out their little lives, Sweet as a song that once consoled our pain, But never will be sung to us again, Is they remembrance. Now the hour of rest Hath come to thee. Sleep, darling: it is best.
Poor, darling fellow - he died of food. He was killed by the dinner table.
I was shy as a child. Now I'm not really shy any more, unless I'm with shy people. I find it contagious and I don't know what to say. But I don't think shyness is something one should feel apologetic about.
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 want to thank you my sweet darling for digging in the mud and picking me up.
That's my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you'd see pictures all over of Elvis. He's just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it's because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the f***ing room. I don't give a f*** who was in the room with him, Bogart, Marilyn Monroe.
