Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart. – Margaret Cho
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. – Margaret Cho
People are really terrified of me. I don’t know why, I’m very nice, but people are very intimidated by me. – Margaret Cho
One place that I really feel comfortable is being a comedienne. I’m very socially inept. There’s so many things that I can not do in life, and this is, like, the one thing that I have mastery over.

Korean children get a lot of fuss made over them, I guess because life was tough in the old country, and it was a big deal if you survived. There’s a big party thrown when you are 100 days old, followed by another when you make it to one whole year. – Margaret Cho
I really love Steve Martin and all the stuff he did in the ’70s. I think it’s really great. – 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
To start telling people that you’re beautiful, or just feel beautiful, just start acting like you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And it really improves everything! Because your sort of psyche responds to it – like this is truthful! – Margaret Cho
