It's interesting for myself, growing up as an Asian-American filmmaker. Coming into the industry, my parents always said, "No one's going to give you the opportunity. You just have to do the work. Be better than everyone else, so they can't deny it."

A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I'm not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It's not fun for me. There's nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.

I'm not clean or even vaguely pleasant to be around in a domestic situation.

I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.

And the people I'm best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.

I've worked every day since I was 10. I don't know how to do anything else. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing.

Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
