We've all, at some point in our lives, been in a position where we have felt powerless.

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

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.

I'm just totally into being strong. There's something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog's bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There's comfort in that.

I'm not a vampire movie fan, per se. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed movies with vampires in them.

Our life on earth cannot sustain without healthy oceans - and because of that, the beings who inhabit and allow that eco system to work need our help. Let's start with our wonderment, and go from there. Allow that, and it becomes easy.

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