It was a very free, celebratory kind of atmosphere. A recent performance at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco was filmed for theatrical release. Cho's love for the live stage helped her use her comedic voice as a way to understand what happened to her and to bring the audience on the journey with her. I'm the One That I Want' is about self-love, reliance and awareness. It's an anthem to survival, some reviewers have said, and Cho is proud that she emerged from the show biz wreckage of All-American Girl scarred but eager to share her experience with a live audience.
Show business is hard.
You are always being judged. I was fortunate that I was a comedian and relied on my voice. But the TV show destroyed that. It was very demoralizing. I felt very alone and not good enough.
