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.'

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

I love that synergy between being entertainers and having people respond. There’s no greater reward.

I've always dreamed that George Lucas would call me one day and ask me to be in one of the 'Star Wars' films.

I've loved all forms of animation.
