How I was raised is what I am today.

I enjoy going back to work now because cinema is going through an exciting period because young people are now going back to the movie theaters. But things are different though.

How do you explain certain physical qualities that somehow sell on screen? You're born with it... Certain people are just more watchable, and I was more watchable, but I don't think I understood acting or drama very well when I was a kid.

I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.

The difference between me and American-born actors is that I came here with the expectation of not being treated fairly.

In my life I do look up to actors, at my age I ask myself, who else is playing interesting parts at my age which is very difficult for a female actor. On top of it, being a minority, having come from China makes it harder.

Since age 14, I know what actors fear, what they like; I know how to get things out of them and I listen to them better, since I've been there.
