Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a typical day in your life.
Ms. Margaret Cho:
I get up early depending on what the work for that day is, whether it is getting on a plane to go on tour, working on a TV show or a movie, doing press – every day is different so there are not really typical days. When I am traveling I go explore the city. I love shopping all over the world and most of my wardrobe is built of special pieces I find all over. I do shows almost every night, even when I am home in Los Angeles. Doing comedy is usually the last thing I do in day and it’s the most important!
My activism is just part of me, and it’s important now more than ever to fight!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share with us your Top 5 Favorite Foods or Recipes.
Ms. Margaret Cho:
It’s all Korean, which is more about marinating and fermenting less about cooking – and there are no recipes. It’s very intuitive and handed down from my family! Very Top Secret!!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
In 1996, you developed an eating disorder as a response to criticism about your body. How were you able to fight and cope up to regain your confidence?
Ms. Margaret Cho:
I really just do not care about it anymore. I mean, I spent so much of my early adulthood focused on being thin, it was just a waste of time. I really just don’t care anymore and that is a miracle to be able to let go of ALL that emotional baggage !
