There's an assumption that my audience is all these bearded twats from Dalston. But actually, quite a lot of older people go. For them, it's like pre-alternative comedy, when there was Dave Allen or Jackie Mason or someone. Also, weirdly, because I don't really swear, they're not scared off.

Stewart Lee

To me, religion is the reason there is so much conflict in this world, and I think it's just so unnecessary to believe in this blue-eyed, white-bearded, white-haired God.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

Like so many people, I only remembered Orson Welles as this huge, fat, bearded figure selling wine in TV commercials. So whenever anyone said I looked like Orson Welles I said that I wasn't that fat, and I would get on a diet, quickly.

Christian McKay

If you want to be a bearded lady then you are allowed to do that because you're not hurting anybody.

Conchita Wurst

It's easy to say, 'This is just a joke.' You know, the bearded lady? And I feel the need to smash it with every performance just because I want to be clear this is not a joke.

Conchita Wurst

I started out as being a diva in a golden dress and now to a more bearded drag artist guy in boots.

Conchita Wurst

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.

Conchita Wurst

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.

Conchita Wurst

I love myself and the bearded lady is fun and expresses everything I feel.

Conchita Wurst

I want to show the world that if you want to be a bearded lady you are allowed to do it without being discriminated against.

Conchita Wurst

I decided to be this bearded lady in 2011.

Conchita Wurst

I'm aware of this bearded lady being something that is not really common.

Conchita Wurst

We owned a bearded collie for many years. Sophie. She was old, and she died last year.

Erika Slezak

To a man, ornithologists are tall, slender, and bearded so that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly trees, as they watch for birds.

Gore Vidal

You know it's hard to hear what a bearded man is saying. He can't speak above a whisker.

Herman J. Mankiewicz

I never thought that the long haired, bearded guy I married in law school would end up being President.

Hillary Clinton

How does a cosmos without a bearded, bathrobed God in the sky pull off all the things that a bearded, bathrobed guy in the sky was supposed to have pulled off? If there was no God who said 'Let there be light,' where did we get all that light?

Howard Bloom

The Bible never tells us what Jesus looked like, and in the earliest surviving paintings of him, he is sometimes depicted as short-haired, sometimes as beardless, with no authoritative version winning out over the others. Yet around 400 A.D., all of the other competing images were replaced by the long-haired, bearded Jesus we know today.

Ian Caldwell

Jacques Doillon wanted me to be in his film, 'La Fille Prodigue,' and there I was, expecting, for some reason, this great bearded man, when a splendid looking red-Indian style man appeared at my door. I said no to his film because I knew that if I said yes, I would run off with him.

Jane Birkin

The island is named Oooguruk, an Inupiaq word meaning 'bearded seal,' an animal plentiful on the shores of Alaska's North Slope.

Jeanne Marie Laskas

I always liken myself to the bearded lady. Because I'm an actress turned musician, a woman doing male-dominated rock & roll... I'm the oddity at the freak show, you know?
