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 have so much hate that it has turned into love.
Margaret Cho
Silence equals nonexistence. If I don't raise my voice, it's like I never existed.
Margaret Cho
[Fur] is really ridiculous. It's outrageous. We're not living in igloos. We don't need to trade pelts anymore. There is this diabolical idea that fur is fashionable. It's not. It's death. There's no excuse for it.
Margaret Cho
The intention is to make people laugh, to make people happy. It's unselfish, it's in the service of others, and as a comedian you are making yourself vulnerable in order to make others happy. And it has a transformative power.
Margaret Cho
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
Margaret Cho
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!'
Margaret Cho
I am always writing no matter what I am doing and no matter what it is for.
Margaret Cho
I knew I was crazy because I was watching Jesus Christ Superstar and the part where Jesus carries the cross up the mountain, I actually said to myself, Wow! That must be a really good workout! Yeah, because you're doing arms and cardio!
Margaret Cho
We should retain our anger in the face of injustice and not be shamed by that.
Margaret Cho
I really love Steve Martin and all the stuff he did in the '70s. I think it's really great.
Margaret Cho
Let's not hate ourselves. We are all we have. We cannot change anything until we accept that. I cannot do this alone. I don't love myself enough to do it alone, but I can do it if we have a pact, if I am keeping up my end of the bargain. I have been a longtime perpetrator of hate crimes against myself, and I am turning myself in. I have had enough.
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
That's part of being an artist you have to be that sensitive.
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
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
If you really care about children then why would you want to keep families from adopting them?
Margaret Cho
It's okay for you to have relationships, but it's not okay to talk about them. It's not okay to be out or to be public about it. It's not okay to be photographed with your partner.
Margaret Cho
I am a big Ellen fan. I have been one for quite a long time now. I used to do the local news talk shows with her in San Francisco, when we were both still kids.
Margaret Cho
I'm lucky that I have good genetics. Like you said, it just gets better as I get older.
Margaret Cho
This was an era where I was going out every night seeing Sparks, Berlin, Duran Duran, and Split Enz. Amazing acts doing really weird stuff, and I was very open to music and letting it transform me.
Margaret Cho
