“You know, I created this bearded lady… I wanted to show the world that you can do whatever you want. It’s not about the colour of your skin, it’s not about where you’re from. If you want to be a bearded lady, you’re allowed to do that, because you’re not hurting anyone. And that’s the thing: if you’re not hurting anyone, you can do whatever you want with your life. It’s so cheesy, but we only have one life, so you better have a happy one.”
