Quotes by Margaret Cho
-
Whenever anyone has called me a bitch, I have taken it as a compliment. To me, a bitch is assertive, unapologetic, demanding, intimidating, intelligent, fiercely protective, in control — all very positive attributes. But it's not supposed to be a compliment, because there's that stupid double standard: When men are aggressive and dominant, they are admired, but when a woman possesses those same qualities, she is dismissed and called a bitch.These days, I strive to be a bitch, because not being one sucks. Not being a bitch means not having your voice heard. Not being a bitch means you agree with all the bullshit. Not being a bitch means you don't appreciate all the other bitches who have come before you. Not being a bitch means since Eve ate that apple, we will forever have to pay for her bitchiness with complacence, obedience, acceptance, closed eyes, and open legs.

Just because you are blind, and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
Read quote -
I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.
Read quote -
Am I gay, am I straight? No, I'm just slutty. So, where's my parade? What about slut pride.

I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT' -
Read quote -
I'm not going to die because I failed as someone else. I'm going to succeed as myself.

George Bush isn't Hitler. He could be if he applied himself.

Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.
Read quote -
I love fashion, I'm actually a pretty talented seamstress, so I can make stuff for myself, but that's really time-consuming.
