“You know, I have a very thick skin.”
“I'm not that powerful to take out the masculinity of a beard.”
“It's my music. If it's not good enough, then that's how it will be.”
“I'm aware of this bearded lady being something that is not really common.”

“Kids go crazy for the Krampus tradition and dress up as little monsters - they have beautiful masks, handmade from wood. Our village in Austria puts on a special play in which the creature tells an old beggar to repent his sins; when he refuses, he's beaten up by lots of Krampuses at once.”
