I know that there is absolutely good in the world.

I love the process of creating a character; someone entirely different from myself, and depicting it, either on stage or screen.

I think one of my biggest lessons so far in life is that hard work really does pay off. It may not culminate in the way you expected it to, but I have found that when I really put my head down and apply myself, I often get a good result.

Love for me is comfort. I feel most loved and most capable of giving love when I am around people or in places that make me comfortable.

I think there is a wonderful trend of strong female characters on television right now.

I have different routines for different types of chaos. When I find myself swamped with work and surrounded by people, I try to carve out time to walk my dog alone so I can organize my thoughts.

For the first four years of my studying in the U.S., I couldn't go home for two reasons. One is I was afraid that if I left my student visa may not hold and I wouldn't be able to come back to continue. Second, there was this big outrage in China that I didn't know how to face the public.
