I definitely support free speech.

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 started out okay but with AIDS came a great deal of silence about gayness and this period of lose and morning, but at the same time a kind of feeling like you wanted to get back into the closet because being gay was such a terrible thing at that point.

When we're talking about feminism, I get sort of lost in the argument. Because as a woman of color, I don't know where I belong in this argument. Where do I say, 'I would be happy to have less money'? How do you fight for your rights when I'm super-grateful to be here at all?

It makes it very hard to say what you believe in and not be attacked for it. And it's not fair; I'm Korean, but I'm not supposed to talk about my experience and my life? It's unaccepting.

I really love Steve Martin and all the stuff he did in the '70s. I think it's really great.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself and the problems you face in life. Sense of humor can save you.
