Margaret Cho quotes - page 5

Our nation bringing slaves from Africa was the biggest hate crime of all. Then, when the slaves were freed, there wasn't anywhere for them to go. Then came the reign of terror by the KKK that never really ended. Then there is the fact that none of this stuff is taught in American History, at least not in detail. (Margaret Cho)
There are still lynchings. And while we don't use ropes anymore, there are more efficient ways of doing it. View quote

I would rather have a gay child. If you have a gay son, you know he's not gonna be shooting up his high school. That would get in the way of yearbook. View quote

And I got so drunk, I got so drunk that I actually woke up thinking, "Should I get up and pee, or just pee in the bed?" Actually weighing the pros and the cons. "Well, it'll be warm for a minute... it's a big bed, I'll just roll over... I'll just blame it on that guy!" View quote

I was working on this movie and the makeup artist was just so ugly! I just wanted to say "Physician, heal thyself!" She looked exactly like Aaron Neville, and she was trying her hardest to make me look exactly like Aaron Neville. This one time, she leaned into my face with the mascara wand almost touching my eye and she says, "Whass my name?" View quote
Margaret Cho
I am not gonna die because some network executive thought I was fat! It's so wrong! It's so wrong that women are asked to live up to this skinny ideal that is totally unattainable. For me to be ten pounds thinner is a full-time job, and I am handing in my notice and walking out the door!! View quote
Margaret Cho
Thank God for gay men. Thank God for gay men, because if it were not for gay men, I would not talk to men at all. View quote
Margaret Cho
Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think. It is vital to mourn the victims of this government, but not at the expense of losing our sense of humor. Our ability to laugh directly coincides with our ability to fight. If we make fun of it, we can transcend it. View quote
Margaret Cho
The dismissal of our anger as a racial minority is worse than any slur or epithet because it undermines our ability to react to it. View quote
Margaret Cho
Women and eating disorders have such a long history, but now I see it happening to gay men. And when it comes to anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphia, gay men are far worse than women. They take it way more seriously. "Why diet when you can take crystal meth?" (Margaret Cho)
I am super glad about your four-hour erection, but I was wondering, where is the cure for AIDS? (regarding Viagra, Cialis, etc) View quote
Margaret Cho
Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion. A matter of taste, a whim, an eye, a beholder, an opinion, a spin, light crossing the frame, paint, projection. The moment. Context. View quote
Margaret Cho
What is deeply distressing is the incredible number of people who are vehemently opposed to equality, and the need for them to deny gay rights simply because they cannot bear the thought of gays having rights. View quote
Margaret Cho
My mom used to give me messages like this: "Ummmmmmm... Scott called... IS HE THE GAY??!!" "Well, God, mom, I don't know if he's the gay... that's a lot of pressure on just one guy. He has to do the parade all by himself! 'I'm here! I'm queer!... I guess I'm the only one.'" View quote
Margaret Cho
Since the unfortunate victims pay for the pleasure themselves these are HIGH CRIMES that will go UNPUNISHED because they are self-inflicted. View quote
Margaret Cho
It is a good life, if I watch myself. Kind of like when I used to diet, but now instead of limiting calories, I will not allow negative self-talk. I cut out insults like I cut out carbs and it is hard as hell because I crave self-abuse like hot, fresh sourdough bread, but you know you have to be nice to you if you are going to live together.

I love Karl Lagerfeld, and they [PETA] hate him because he showed fur in his collection, and they protested his fashion show. People were chanting outside, "KARL LAGERFELD IS A MURDERER! KARL LAGERFELD IS A MURDERER!" And I thought, "Wouldn't it be fabulous if Karl Lagerfeld actually was a murderer?" Like, what if he just fuckin' lost it one day... backstage at a show in Milan... and bludgeoned Elsa Klensch to death with a platform shoe. "I HATE THAT BLOUSE!" View quote
Margaret Cho
I gave a LOT of unnecessary head. And I know that guys are going to argue with me about this. "Oh, Margaret, there's no such thing as unnecessary head! All head is necessary! All head is wanted and needed in the world. I run a home for unnecessary head." View quote
Margaret Cho
Yet the powers that be haven't quite considered the strength of our sheer numbers. View quote

The military posts vengeance on their websites, and seeks publicity for their displays of inhumanity. (Margaret Cho)
They (the government) are unfazed by any amount of travesty, loss, tragedy, death, and destruction. View quote
Margaret Cho
As you read their names, imagine who they loved, who loved them, and those those left behind cope now without them. They're never coming home. Never. View quote
Margaret Cho
We are a nation divided which is obvious. The problem is, the division is keeping this monarchy in place. View quote
