I think reality television is such a special talent.
Comedy was all I ever wanted.
Christ's purpose was to really show how everyone can be loved and how everyone should be loved and accepted.
The only thing that was sort of Asian [as a role model] was Hello Kitty. I don't want to model myself after Hello Kitty. She has no mouth.
I helped deliver one of my best friend's children. I just was so amazed by my friend, because she was not just a woman, she was not just a mother. At that moment she was creation; she was life; she was God. And as I looked in her eyes, BOOM! Her pussy exploded.
My parents never really had that much money, so I kind of live in the same world that they do.
I think that gay people should have the right to get married by Elvis like everybody else.
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 don't think I'm gay. I don't think I'm straight. I think I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?
I love singing and that's kind of my new thing.
I think that reaching out to kids that feel really isolated is a life saving gesture that we have a responsibility as older queers to do.
One of my first jobs was on a lesbian cruise. I was the ship comedian for the Lesbian Love Boat.
Started out, Funny, sexy, zaftig Margaret Cho... What is zaftig? Isn't that German for big fat pig? I guess I was lucky- zaftig is kind of a nice word. It could have been, Funny, sexy, OBESE Margaret Cho.
My history in show business spans over a quarter of a century, and I have seen many people in the industry struggle with coming out, only to find much more success after they finally did.
