I've loved all forms of animation.

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.

I was a total sci-fi geek. Star Wars was my ultimate favorite.

Both my parents are chefs I grew up in a restaurant and was always surrounded by cooks. I love food.

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 always excited to do the fight scenes.

Mom takes all the credit for my success. Now Mom says, 'I read your face when you were a baby, and it said you were going to be a star. That's why I named you Ming - because it's all about the sun and the stars and enlightenment.'
