"With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare, I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails"
About this Quote
The self-assessment walks a tightrope between humility and armor. “Possibly, remotely attractive” isn’t low self-esteem so much as preemptive disarmament: if she says it first, the tabloids can’t weaponize it as easily. Coming from Presley, the subtext is inseparable from lineage. When your last name is a global logo, “nothing particularly special” reads less like fishing for reassurance and more like a plea to be measured on human terms, not as the heir to a myth.
Then she swerves from looks to lifestyle, taking aim at another modern idol: the wellness persona. “I’m not a yoga and health girl” is a rejection of the sanitized, marketable version of femininity that’s replaced the old starlet script. The litany of bad habits is almost comic in its bluntness - crap food, smoking, nail-biting - a set of small rebellions that signal: I’m messy, I’m anxious, I’m real.
In the late-20th/early-2000s celebrity ecosystem, where women were expected to be both glamorous and “relatable,” this kind of candor plays like a refusal to audition. It’s not self-destruction as branding; it’s self-description as survival.
