To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.

You have to have a very holler-y sensibility. So they [the audience] know there's something worth listening to.

I think political correctness really does help us when it serves us but it doesn't help us when it silences us.

Most conservatives also believe in the death penalty, but not abortion, which proves they like to procrastinate.

I get a lot from great '90s artists like Juliana Hatfield, The Pixies, and bands like That Dog and The Breeders.

I feel sorry for anyone that I am obsessed with. I am worse than gum in your hair, very, very close to the roots.

People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.

Sexual fulfillment goals, to make them happen, you have to work on them as a project. I don't think it's a bad thing.

All the songs on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are the encapsulation of heterosexual love. I have different records for gay sex.

Humanity is a natural foil for inhumanity, and humanity is what will ultimately keep us going when all else has failed.

My attitude toward peace does not depend on which war we are discussing. I think that words should do the work of bombs.

I think I appeal to people who are living in the margins because of their identity and who need to feel freedom somewhere.

I have a box of awards in the closet. I think it is weird to put them out. I might if I had an Emmy or Oscar, but I don't.

I love fashion, I'm actually a pretty talented seamstress, so I can make stuff for myself, but that's really time-consuming.

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!

If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach.

I think white people like to tell Asian people how they should feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people.

Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can't we can't we all be considered possible love interests?

My parents are very funny when they have to deal with anything racy or off-color. They usually pretend they don't speak English.

I'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.

Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.

I am into belly dancing. I used to only hang with comics. Now I have friends who are dancers, and my whole house has a harem feel.

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 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.

There's a lot of guy comics who I think are funny, but I generally am more excited about a special or a show where there are females.

Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo.

I love Wilco's "I'm the Man Who Loves You." Nels Cline has that weird guitar slide at the beginning and the song is whispered actually.

I don't like catchphrases either. A current one would be, "Bye, Felicia." It's used so much that we don't even know the origin anymore.

I have 3 dogs myself - I actually have a kennel license in order to do so. I love them so much I couldn't imagine my life without them.

My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sex - ever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.

You don't become a Republican until you lose all your baby teeth and fall down a lot and get the croup and then become angry and bitter.

I voice my opinions on social media and I have people threatening me with violence. It is troubling but I can fight back, which is good.

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.

Sex in general, for me, is a lot of different aspects of humanity, not just my relationships. It's my relationship to myself and my body.

I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.

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.

strange, there's so much religion in the world, but only enough to make us fight over who is right, not enough to make us love one another.

In America, I'm a foreigner because of my Korean heritage. In Asia, because I was born in America, I'm a foreigner. I'm always a foreigner.

A few words about ‘trannychasing.’ I am not a trannychaser. Ok, actually I am a trannychaser. No I am not. I am a trannycatcher! Just kidding!

[Smoking] was a comfort, an occupation, a drug, a casual habit, a distraction, a way to not eat, a way to not pay attention, a way to not feel.

Anything Vince Clarke, whether it's Erasure, Yaz, or Depeche Mode. It's basically R&B with synths. It's very sexy music and perfect for gay sex.

People are so sensitive about race that they can't hear someone speaking about their life in a very true way, or doing satire or political parody.

You didn't hear Yello until later in the night in the bondage clubs. Things would start getting crazy and that's when you'd hear Yello. It was bad.

I have a song about how much I hate emojis and the lazy thinking of people who use them. I wish that more people had respect for the English language.

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.

White fragility! White people are so sensitive about race and racial conversations. I feel like I'm always walking on eggshells when I'm around white people.

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.

That's the nature of comedy. You always want to be improving and growing and changing with what's happening in the world. That's when comedy is most effective.

I am a big Ellen fan. I have been one for quite a long time now. I used to do the local news talk shows with her in San Francisco, when we were both still kids.

Often something that is in bad taste or considered to be in bad taste is something that's just very true but that people are unwilling to discuss or comment on.
