Confidence in the human capacity for problem solving, for invention, for innovation.

I'm an anglophile. I visit England regularly, sometimes three or four times a year, at least once a year.

The theatre for me is much more satisfying as an actor because you are working in front of a living, breathing, throbbing, gasping, laughing and hopefully applauding audience. And the immediate connection you get with that audience is very satisfying.

It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.

Social media is like ancient Egypt: writing things on walls and worshiping cats.

You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.

But when we came out of camp, that's when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful.
