Zitat des Tages von Margaret Cho:
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.
I think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity.
Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself.
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.
I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to.
I think it is time for all babies to let us know who they want for president.
Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.
Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.
Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.
Being called ugly and fat and disgusting to look at from the time I could barely understand what the words meant has scarred me so deep inside that I have learned to hunt, stalk, claim, own and defend my own loveliness.
I punished myself and avoided my reflection in mirrors and any windows. I would see myself reflected back, and I would look away, trying to pretend I didn't exist, because I hated myself so much.
I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.
I grew up a witness to gay politics in its early days. I remember seeing Harvey Milk and been moved by him.
Comedy was all I ever wanted.
Grow up and let anyone try to contend with the adult you.
The incognito of lower class employment is an effective cloak for any dagger one might wish to hide.
Try to put your happiness before anyone else's, because you may never have done so in your entire life, if you really think about it, if you are really honest with yourself.
Usually, if you smile at them and show some interest in the toy, they will give it to you. That's a straight up Democrat move!
Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart.
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.
Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.
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.
To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.
You don't become a Republican until you lose all your baby teeth and fall down a lot and get the croup and then become angry and bitter.
I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!
I love animals.
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.
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.
Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.
I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sex - ever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.
Babies got it going on!
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.
I'm lucky that I have good genetics. Like you said, it just gets better as I get older.
