- “I certainly try my best not to be a terrible interview subject. But I am tortured. If you’ve been acting all your life, you can just talk about yourself without ever thinking about what’s going on inside the head of the person that’s interviewing you.

- “Before we were married, my wife and I used to play a game called Let’s Go Get Lost.

- “I’m currently in the writing process. I’m learning how to play music and write song, but they’re comedy songs.

Two of the people I’m collaborating with will be performing with me at SXSW – Patty Griffin and Amanda Palmer [of the Dresden Dolls]. [The songs] are all pretty dirty. The titles are things like, ‘I’m In Love With Someone Else So Fuck You’ and ‘Eat Shit and Die.'” — Margaret Cho, who is performing at SXSW… as a musician. [Time]
