It's difficult sometimes when you have somebody who is of a different culture trying to make light of something that is maybe not quite something that they understand.

All of the Spaniards are really talented. I don't know what they eat.

You know, I feel like if I don't change something, then the results maybe are going to continue the way that they have. That for me is not something that I want to really be a part of.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

I think when you've played at the level that I've played, anything outside the top 10 in certain aspects is just a number, unless you're obviously trying to get into tournaments and stuff.

I got comments about being too small, too short, there haven't been any Asian players and who am I to go out there and turn pro before my 16th birthday? And that's all good and fine. People want to have their comments and their opinions. Ultimately, you do what you believe in your heart. I think for me, things turned out OK.

Obviously the Asian American community wants you to do well. They are cheering you on no matter what the circumstances.
