My father tried to get me to be around gay people a lot when I was young. He owned a gay bookstore and it had a lot of gay literature and art books and he wanted me to be taken care of by the young gays and lesbians who worked for him.

More quotes by Margaret Cho
My former bullies pay extra to come backstage and meet me after shows, and I pretend not to know them in front of their friends. It is the most divine pleasure to exact the revenge of the brutalized child that resides within.
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
Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.
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
There's vulnerability - so I have to make sure the audience is certain that I know what I'm doing. There's vulnerability there because my heart is open, but at the same time I definitely have a lot of weapons at my disposal. I have all the language, I have all of the moment - I have all of that to spar with somebody, to take anything on.
Margaret Cho
In America, I'm a foreigner because of my Korean heritage. In Asia, because I was born in America, I'm a foreigner. I'm always a foreigner.
Margaret Cho
I’m not going to die because I failed as someone else. I’m going to succeed as myself.
Margaret Cho
I think I appeal to people who are living in the margins because of their identity and who need to feel freedom somewhere.
Margaret Cho
I think white people like to tell Asian people how they should feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people.
Margaret Cho
I thought I was so ugly for so long, and I wasted so much of my life on this dumb notion.
Margaret Cho
Comedy was the key to everything. I grew up fast and controlled my future by bringing it on faster than it naturally unfolded. I cheated myself out of a childhood but then got a running headstart into adulthood that no one else could keep up with.
Margaret Cho
I was like, Am I gay? Am I straight? And I realized...I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?
Margaret Cho
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho
The power of visibility can never be underestimated.
Margaret Cho
If you really care about children then why would you want to keep families from adopting them?
Margaret Cho
I don't want to bring myself down to place where there are hard and fast rules. In general I try to be compassionate, but that is dependent on the moment ultimately.
Margaret Cho
We women are constantly at war with our bodies, it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves.
Margaret Cho
It's always considered bad taste to comment on a tragedy right when it's happening, but I love when something is considered too soon to talk about because then you can blast past that social censorship to get into something real.
Margaret Cho
I'm not a body shamer. The word fat has been used to hurt me my entire life.
Margaret Cho
I don't like people telling other people what to do. Sex work for a lot of women is really important, especially in countries where women don't have a lot of power. Here we can have at least some form ... of making money.
