All Asian parents are into your children having a respectable, decent stable job. Acting was unimaginable to my parents.

I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.

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.

I'm more interested in...I'm more of a descendent. I'm more critical. It comes from a different place and nowadays the young people know how to make just light entertainment.

I never went on an audition - when they were really looking at everybody.

For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.
