I'm jealous, I'm moody, I'm really not good to be around as a boyfriend.
As I always say, you don't have to love me, but you have to respect that I'm here.
I love huge dramatic songs with ridiculously big orchestral parts.
I'm not that powerful to take out the masculinity of a beard.
It was a huge honour to play at the Palladium with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
I started out as being a diva in a golden dress and now to a more bearded drag artist guy in boots.
I'm not perfect, I just do what I think is right. So if I can't fulfil people's expectations, I'm sorry, but it's not my fault.
It's just unbelievable that nearly every gay human being knows who I am now - that's overwhelming.
I've figured out over the years, you can only hurt me if I love you; if I don't know you, I really don't care.
The main topic I'm always talking about is equality, and I get that it's politics, but it shouldn't be. It should be the most normal thing ever. There's bullying and discrimination about the colour of your skin, your religion. And it must end.
People only look at my beard for a moment. Then it melts away and it's just another part of me. It's like the most natural thing, that this is what a bearded lady looks like. It's beautiful to see.
There's a big difference between when I'm Tom and when I'm Conchita. Conchita uses very proper German; Tom talks in an Austrian dialect. Conchita gets mad if she is kept waiting; Tom is lazy.
I am happy being a man in a dress. Some people get confused and think I'm a trans woman, but I'm strict about the difference. What I do is performance, it's staged, it's glamour - it's not real life. But for trans people, being born in the wrong body - there's nothing glamorous or easy about that.
I didn't invent the bearded lady. It's been around for ages, and there are so many bearded drag queens out there - but they're not in the mainstream as I am.
Over the years I've realised that there's nothing wrong with me. But there was a long way for me to go to get back to this loud and outgoing kid, and to get to the point where I could say, 'Yeah, I'm gay, so what?'
Expectations are dangerous. I recommend not having any, if only to avoid disappointment.
If people really want to know whether I am a woman or transsexual, I take it as a compliment. It means I'm doing my job well.
Being a teenager, a gay teenager, in such a small village is not that much fun. I am part of the gay community and most gays have a similar story to mine.
I can always spot an Australian queen by her high, high end wig. Australian drag queens have the best hair in the world - the best.
It is an honour and it's flattering that people refer to me as someone they trust or get inspired from.
