More quotes by Margaret Cho
If you have sex, it should be for you, not for the other person.
Margaret Cho
The power of visibility can never be underestimated.
Margaret Cho
I grew up a witness to gay politics in its early days. I remember seeing Harvey Milk and been moved by him.
Margaret Cho
My former bullies pay extra to come backstage and meet me after shows, and I pretend not to know them in front of their friends. It is the most divine pleasure to exact the revenge of the brutalized child that resides within.
Margaret Cho
My attitude toward peace does not depend on which war we are discussing. I think that words should do the work of bombs.
Margaret Cho
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
Margaret Cho
I was like, Am I gay? Am I straight? And I realized...I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?
Margaret Cho
I don't like people telling other people what to do. Sex work for a lot of women is really important, especially in countries where women don't have a lot of power. Here we can have at least some form ... of making money.
Margaret Cho
Comedy is quite a difficult place for queers and for women.
Margaret Cho
I was about 17 or 18 and there were a lot of clubs and dancing. It was the beginning of rave culture and a lot of ecstasy. Because of all the drugs, there are certain songs that make me feel high.
Margaret Cho
My philosophy is, murder the rapist in your mind so you stop killing yourself. I've seen, in my lifetime, that sexual abuse has turned into self-abuse. When I kill the rapist inside of me, I will stop killing myself.
Margaret Cho
Where do people get off telling people what to do? It's their bodies. If you legalized sex work and legally protected the sex workers, you wouldn't see anything like human trafficking. All of that would be obliterated.
Margaret Cho
My history in show business spans over a quarter of a century, and I have seen many people in the industry struggle with coming out, only to find much more success after they finally did.
Margaret Cho
I don't really know what 'selling out' is exactly. I would sell out if I could, but nobody's buying it. I would love to go mainstream, but my comedy is too edgy. It's always too dirty. It's always too filthy. I'm dying to sell out. But I love doing comedy, I love touring, and I think I would do everything for free.
Margaret Cho
Silence equals nonexistence. If I don't raise my voice, it's like I never existed.
Margaret Cho
In my life, I don't wear makeup, I don't care about any of the trappings of the feminine, or how I look in photographs. To me, it's irrelevant, which I think is really shocking to people in the industry that I'm in, because it's like, You should always look good, but I honestly don't care. It's not important to me.
Margaret Cho
I don't want to hurt anybody because of their looks. That's been used to hurt me so much.
Margaret Cho
No matter what these terrorists do, I refuse to be terrorized. All this requires is just a few alterations in our day to day lives. For example, my first instinct when I receive an envelope full of white powder... is to snort it! I just won't do that this time!
Margaret Cho
Being called ugly and fat and disgusting to look at from the time I could barely understand what the words meant has scarred me so deep inside that I have learned to hunt, stalk, claim, own and defend my own loveliness.
Margaret Cho
I think white people like to tell Asian people how they should feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people.
