To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.
I can't drag myself away from 'Final Cut Pro.' It is a digital video editing system. I am obsessed with it, but I am always away from home, and I can't use it.
I am star-struck but also I've known a lot of people for a long time. Like I'm super star-struck by Grant Lee Phillips and Jon Brion but I've known them for 17 years. So it's kinda like weird to be star-struck still, but I still am!
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.
I think that when you are accused of being in bad taste it can be quite positive. You're challenging the notions of polite society. I'd like to put across the notion that bad taste is actually good for you.
Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can't we can't we all be considered possible love interests?
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!
When you feel powerful, you are willing to stand up for your rights, you are willing to stand up for what you believe in, you're more willing to stand up and be counted.
I think if somebody does something stupid, it's okay to make fun of them, but [celebrities] have also gotten very conscious about social media, kind of like the Catholic Church in the 1500s.
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.
The newest victims of the nation's foreclosure crisis are pets, which is extremely distressing to me.
The best tattooists are in San Francisco, and they're kind of like my family now. I'm always excited to come back to San Francisco.
I'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.
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.
