I hope that we start trendsetting [with Everybody Loves Somebody], you know, like having bigger movies also include that. Because I think it'll definitely change a lot of what's going on right now.

I guess that storytelling would be for me to keep making art that touches people in a way that nothing else can.

I would get very frustrated reading scripts that were bilingual but maybe not bicultural.

Wisdom and white hair might not be as valued [in our society] as in different cultures.

I love family. In this movie [Everybody Loves Somebody], my character is a successful OB-GYN and yet she goes back to her teenage years when she's with her parents. Like, that's me.

[The main character] is in a forever-growing process. I feel the movie [everybody Loves Somebody] did that very well and not finishing off as "a woman's life ends when she finds the right guy".

All the products that are sold to us - those anti-aging products - are telling us that there's a due date.
