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'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.

Margaret Cho
I could never make a joke about somebody unless I could say it to their face and they'd laugh.

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
I'm not a body shamer. The word fat has been used to hurt me my entire life.
Margaret Cho
I like to respond with jokes and to keep it as light as possible.
Margaret Cho
It’s like your batteries get low, and you need to charge them on someone else’s story.
Margaret Cho
I just think women are funnier than men.
Margaret Cho
For women in my family, in Korean culture, women are really valued in their youth, and then when they get older, it's like they almost become irrelevant.
Margaret Cho
We should retain our anger in the face of injustice and not be shamed by that.
Margaret Cho
I definitely support free speech.
