I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
I'm as proud to be Chinese as I am American.
What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.
The 'ER' role was not Asian-specific, and my agent knew that I loved the show.
Both my parents are chefs I grew up in a restaurant and was always surrounded by cooks. I love food.
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.
