A Quote by Margaret Cho

Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself. — © Margaret Cho
Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself.
I felt very comfortable about myself when I was much heavier. I feel much better about myself from being fit.
I don't understand German myself. I learned it at school, but forgot every word of it two years after I had left, and have felt much better ever since.
Ever since I started using guys, I feel so much better about myself. I feel so much more powerful.
Over the years, my work became both my vocation and avocation. Since I enjoyed it so much, I never felt a great need to go outside for relaxation. Nevertheless, I became an avid photographer and traveler. Possibly my love for travel stems from the early years when my family seldom went away on vacation.
When I went to the sets of 'ABCD,' I felt younger. Surrounded by so many young dancers, I, too, became a dancer again.
I was modest--they accused me of being crafty: I became secretive. I felt deeply good and evil--nobody caressed me, everybody offended me: I became rancorous. I was gloomy--other children were merry and talkative. I felt myself superior to them--but was considered inferior: I became envious. I was ready to love the whole world--none understood me: and I learned to hate.
I traced the marley floor with my pointe shoes, and imagine myself on the stage, not as a member of the corps, but as a principal dancer. It felt right. It felt like a promise. Some day, somehow, it was going to happen for me.
If I had an extra 20 or 50 years physically, I could have been the dancer of my dreams. But I never became that dancer.
Still, I started as a group dancer and became known to the public as a dancer. So, dancing will always remain close to my heart.
I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.
Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.
Since social relationships are always ambiguous, since my thought is only a unit, since my thoughts create rifts as much as they unite, since my words establish contacts by being spoken and create isolation by remaining unspoken, since an immense moat separates the subjective certitude that I have for myself from the objective reality that I represent to others, since I never stop finding myself guilty even though I feel I am innocent.
Even when I became the typical shy adolescent, I never minded performing. I felt there was a kind of safety, a protection about being on stage, about losing myself in another character.
But I was always just having fun and out and about and working, doing whatever. But when I met Vogue is when something went off in my mind and I became a far more serious person. She makes me a much better version of myself.
I don't think of myself as a leader. I am, but I don't think of myself that way. I'm not trying to belittle what I do, but I think of myself as a dancer first. I'll always be a dancer.
I taught and studied dance in college, and for over a decade, I thought that would be my career: tap dancer, ballet dancer, modern dancer. I still find myself doing some tumbling or interpretive dancing in the grocery store every now and then.
