Wayne Wang, the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just takes forever.

When I'm at home or at school, I'm casual and comfortable. I tend to wear work out clothes and lots of sweaters.

There's no need to bully; be kind to unwind!

Well, I'm kind of an urban girl, I like big cities. I like New York, I like London, I like L.A. I like people, I get lonely, really, really easily. But, I think it was good. It was very different and I think that's good.

When I was younger, I didn't want to be on TV.

Perfection is impossible. Trying to do your best is important, but loving yourself and loving others should come first.

Do what you want, and if people are going to judge you for it, who cares? You might not fit in, but that's okay. Everyone thought I was weird in high school!
