When you come to America, it's a very serious thing. It's not like you arrive and they say, 'Hey, come on! Do movies!' I can't just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don't, I could lose it like that.

Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights - gee, what a wonder - but also I have more to offer than that.

Here's my goal: I want to make a seriously dark show, and not on a network that has ever done that.

I don't work out and be healthy and want a strong body because I want to look good in a bikini. I do all of those things for me and for my health. I'm not going on the cover of 'Maxim' and 'FHM' because that's not me.

I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won't do.

You should see me during an action film. I look like an abuse victim.

We rarely grow when we're happy, we grow when we hurt.
