Us Asians look like we're twenty until we're fifty. Once we're fifty, we look like Yoda.

I learned that money's not happiness. The more famous I am and the more money I make, the closer I stay to my family and friends that I've known since junior high school. True happiness to me is the connection with fellow human beings I've known for a long time.

When you grow up poor, you have to either work really hard to try and get where you want to be, or you'll just stay put.

And I come from a small Vietnamese family. We're really close too, all ten of us.

We want to be seen as more than just martial artists, or bad stereotype token roles in American TV and movies.

I was living under a desk in West Hollywood. It was a closet that I shared with another comic. I was shocked when they called me to come in to try out for the show. The chances of me getting on a TV show and winning it is like one-in-a-million. I had only been doing comedy for six years at that point, so I was basically considered an open mic-er or maybe a feature act once in awhile.

Money comes and goes. I'm thankful I have money. I'm trying to save up more. I would like more money. But it's not happiness. If you're a millionaire and hate your family, hate your friends and your life, then what is the point? You're just a person with a lot of money and power who is not happy.
