“I don't really know what 'selling out' is exactly. I would sell out if I could, but nobody's buying it. I would love to go mainstream, but my comedy is too edgy. It's always too dirty. It's...”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Korean children get a lot of fuss made over them, I guess because life was tough in the old country, and it was a big deal if you survived. There's a big party thrown when you are 100 days o...”

“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.”

“I grew up a witness to gay politics in its early days. I remember seeing Harvey Milk and been moved by him.”

“Sometimes the only way to deal with horrific things in life is through a dark sense of humor.”

“Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.”

“One place that I really feel comfortable is being a comedienne. I'm very socially inept. There's so many things that I can not do in life, and this is, like, the one thing that I have master...”

“I'm super-obsessed with 'Intervention.' I wrote a song about it.”

“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.”
