More quotes by Margaret Cho
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho
I was raised to be self-conscious about weight. Then as I got older and started doing television, it became a career issue, like, 'You have to lose weight or you'll lose that job.'
Margaret Cho
I think that failure is just as important as success. In a way, failure is a kind of success if you can look at it in the right way, if you can accept it and enjoy it in the right way.
Margaret Cho
The first thing you lose on a diet is brain mass.
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'm lucky that I have good genetics. Like you said, it just gets better as I get older.
Margaret Cho
I like to respond with jokes and to keep it as light as possible.
Margaret Cho
I thought I was so ugly for so long, and I wasted so much of my life on this dumb notion.
Margaret Cho
I could definitely rock out to Kraftwerk's Tour De France, Tubeway Army, or Gary Numan. All of that stuff has an infectious beat, but with Oh Yeah, I can't even identify what's going on. It sounds like typewriter keys, a couple of synth notes and then this really deep Oh yeah, which I always picture as Andre The Giant on vocals.
Margaret Cho
I love Wilco's I'm the Man Who Loves You. Nels Cline has that weird guitar slide at the beginning and the song is whispered actually.
Margaret Cho
As a woman of color you have little more permission to go deeper and question things because your identity, in a way, is a shield. But if you come at it from a minority status, my person, who I am, softens the blow of whatever it is that I'm saying, because I am that.
Margaret Cho
I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.
Margaret Cho
My father tried to get me to be around gay people a lot when I was young. He owned a gay bookstore and it had a lot of gay literature and art books and he wanted me to be taken care of by the young gays and lesbians who worked for him.
Margaret Cho
When we're talking about feminism, I get sort of lost in the argument. Because as a woman of color, I don't know where I belong in this argument. Where do I say, 'I would be happy to have less money'? How do you fight for your rights when I'm super-grateful to be here at all?
Margaret Cho
I voice my opinions on social media and I have people threatening me with violence. It is troubling but I can fight back, which is good.
Margaret Cho
I don't have children, and I am not sure if I have wanted them or never wanted them. It's weird not to be able to decide. I don't know if I could stand that kind of commitment, or if I am really honest, I don't think that I could handle being that vulnerable to someone else.
Margaret Cho
Comedy is quite a difficult place for queers and for women.
Margaret Cho
I’m not going to die because I failed as someone else. I’m going to succeed as myself.
Margaret Cho
The newest victims of the nation's foreclosure crisis are pets, which is extremely distressing to me.
Margaret Cho
For me to be ten pounds thinner is a full-time job, and I am handing in my notice and walking out the door!!
