I'm a huge fan of the people and things that are considered the epitomes of tastelessness - things like drag and raunchy comedy.
Margaret ChoOften 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.
Margaret ChoLet's not hate ourselves. We are all we have. We cannot change anything until we accept that. I cannot do this alone. I don't love myself enough to do it alone, but I can do it if we have a pact, if I am keeping up my end of the bargain. I have been a longtime perpetrator of hate crimes against myself, and I am turning myself in. I have had enough.
Margaret ChoI feel sorry for anyone that I am obsessed with. I am worse than gum in your hair, very, very close to the roots.
Margaret ChoIt's completely unsexy [Yello, "Oh Yeah" 1985]. It does capture that weird '80s materialism and "We're gonna get it on now" vibe. But it's a very juvenile approach. It also became a weird signal for comedy, in the sense that when you heard the song, it meant comedy was happening on screen. I feel like this song was probably done in a couple of minutes in a studio.
