Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Margaret Cho: (On being raised in San Francisco) It was different than any other place on Earth,... ...I grew up and went to grammar school on Haight Street during the '70s. There were old hippies, ex-druggies, burnouts from the '60s, drag queens, and Chinese people. To say it was a melting pot – that's the least of it. It was a really confusing, enlightening, wonderful time.

- Margaret Cho: (From her memoir "I'm the One that I Want" (2001)) Comedy was all I ever wanted.

- Margaret Cho: (On sexual politics in an interview with Edward Lewine, for the "New York Times Magazine") I refer to myself as gay, but I am married to a man. Of course, I've had relationships with women, but my politics are more queer than my lifestyle.
