I went to a performance-art high school, and a teacher there was signing me up for open-mic nights at the comedy club. I think about it now, and I think, 'Well, that may be inappropriate,' but it was great!'

More quotes by Margaret Cho
My inclination during sex always is to use sex toys. That's not something men are often used to.
Margaret Cho
I think I started out okay but with AIDS came a great deal of silence about gayness and this period of lose and morning, but at the same time a kind of feeling like you wanted to get back into the closet because being gay was such a terrible thing at that point.
Margaret Cho
It's hard to find peace with your thighs, but when they chafe, try to be grateful for them. Your thighs let you run and get you where you want to go. I have not just thigh peace but thigh happiness, and it begins with thigh gratitude.
Margaret Cho
When I do an Asian character or an Asian voice I'm doing one because that's my heritage and my family and where I come from. My family is of Korean descent and specifically North Korean descent. So it makes sense for me to talk about that issue because it's the only weapon I have to somehow avenge my family and my history.
Margaret Cho
I think that gay people should have the right to get married by Elvis like everybody else.
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
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
That's part of being an artist you have to be that sensitive.
Margaret Cho
Grow up and let anyone try to content with the adult you.
Margaret Cho
Comedians and people in general have a cultural right to talk about their own culture and race.
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 don't like catchphrases either. A current one would be, Bye, Felicia. It's used so much that we don't even know the origin anymore.
Margaret Cho
I think that reaching out to kids that feel really isolated is a life saving gesture that we have a responsibility as older queers to do.
Margaret Cho
I think self-deprecation is such a disease, and I want to cure everybody of it and so that's my contribution.
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
We should retain our anger in the face of injustice and not be shamed by that.
Margaret Cho
Anger and comedy are really connected.
Margaret Cho
I'm a survivor. But I'm also victim, too. Surviving has the connotation that you've been through it, you lived through it and that's wonderful - but a victim is what I was. Survivor is the more healing way to look at it.
Margaret Cho
I do love the road, because for me, the road is very comfortable, and it's very much what I've always wanted to do. It's one of the most appealing things about comedy for me, so I do really have an affection for it.
Margaret Cho
Over half the world menstruates at one time or another, but you'd never know it. Isn't that strange?
Margaret Cho
