Being a sci-fi geek, it was just lovely to be on a show where I pretend I'm in outer space. That's always been my dream: to pretend to be out in space or actually be out in space.

You have to start thinking a little differently as an actor.

I'm always excited to do the fight scenes.

I'm always like, "Maybe I can drive the car. I can still fly the plane!"

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

I hope Hong Kong and Asia wants to hire American Asian actresses as much as Hollywood has been hiring Chinese actors from Asia.

When I grew up in Pittsburgh in my parents' restaurant, I was almost like a country bumpkin.
