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."

I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.

I played bass for a year, but I wasn't getting better at it, so I decided to stop so I could see my friends.

I love Steve Carell and Will Ferrell - they're my heroes.

I've not got a girlfriend at the moment. Somebody said, 'Do you worry girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?' I was like, 'I'm 17, it's wonderful.'

I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.

I have described myself as being 'gently eccentric.'
