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.'

More quotes by Margaret Cho
I feel sorry for anyone that I am obsessed with. I am worse than gum in your hair, very, very close to the roots.
Margaret Cho
No wonder all the great comedians had such destructive private lives. ... After you get the audience into that kind of frenzy, and you are being worshiped like the false idol you are, how do you leave the stage and transition back into real life? ... What is there left to do but set yourself on fire?
Margaret Cho
I have 3 dogs myself - I actually have a kennel license in order to do so. I love them so much I couldn't imagine my life without them.
Margaret Cho
My inclination during sex always is to use sex toys. That's not something men are often used to.
Margaret Cho
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
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
The label of tasteful or tasteless is so often used to silence people and to maintain the status quo. It's used to shame people for not following the commonly accepted routine, for not aligning themselves with the status quo.
Margaret Cho
Over half the world menstruates at one time or another, but you'd never know it. Isn't that strange?
Margaret Cho
I always felt like an outsider growing up. In school, I felt like I never fit in. But it didn't help when my mother, instead of buying me glue for school projects, would tell me to just use rice.
Margaret Cho
I like to respond with jokes and to keep it as light as possible.
Margaret Cho
My parents never really had that much money, so I kind of live in the same world that they do.
Margaret Cho
I've worked with incredible producers who have also taken my voice and brought it to another level. I think I have some natural abilities, but it's the technique that I've been learning from the best that keeps me going. I'm really honored to do it.
Margaret Cho
Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.
Margaret Cho
I love heavily tattooed women. I imagine their lives are filled with sensuality and excess, madness and generosity, impulsive natures and fights. They look like they have endured much pain and sadness, yet have the ability to transcend all of it by documenting it on the body
Margaret Cho
strange, there's so much religion in the world, but only enough to make us fight over who is right, not enough to make us love one another.
Margaret Cho
I mean, what's great about touring is that's what you do. You're in a constant state of motion and then you stop to do a show and you move onto the next city. All you have to do is do the show. That's the only responsibility that you have.
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 really (became) very independent. I was start(ed) to write one-woman shows and mak(e) films and to me I think I really felt like my choice (was) more important than any kind of career goal.
Margaret Cho
I could never make a joke about somebody unless I could say it to their face and they'd laugh.
Margaret Cho
I'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.
Margaret Cho
