That we are selfish gives us the opportunity to gain the power so that, in time, we might be selfless. To give back what we have learned. To teach what we know, and shorten the journey for those who will come after us.

More quotes by Margaret Cho
I am always writing no matter what I am doing and no matter what it is for.
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

Margaret Cho
Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary.
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
Silence equals nonexistence. If I don't raise my voice, it's like I never existed.
Margaret Cho
I have so much hate that it has turned into love.
Margaret Cho
Things that are in bad taste are often renegade and rebellious. They go against the status quo, and the laws of decorum and modesty. And that can be really thrilling.
Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho
Now on Facebook I have all these 'friends' who used to bully me, and they're like, 'We're so proud! We love you!' They come to shows and want to take a picture, and they're like, 'Don't you remember us?' And I'm like, 'I'm sorry, I don't.' And I feel bad, but I feel good.
Margaret Cho
The stuff I do and say onstage I can do easily. As a performer, that comes easily. But being social offstage, it's not easy for me.
Margaret Cho
I was like, Am I gay? Am I straight? And I realized...I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?
Margaret Cho
If I'm talking to a guy who's straight and cute and single, I'm like 'are you a unicorn?'
Margaret Cho
I’m not going to die because I failed as someone else. I’m going to succeed as myself.
Margaret Cho
I was in Toronto when they had a severe outbreak of SARS - you know, Severe Asian Racism Syndrome. I was in the airport and there were these big snowboarder guys and they had white masks around their necks, and as soon as they saw me, they put their masks on. So I went cough, cough, cough... You wanna egg rorr?
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 urge you all today, especially today during these times of chaos and war, to love yourself without reservations and to love each other without restraint. Unless you're into leather.
Margaret Cho
I will never stop complaining.
Margaret Cho
