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'm as proud to be Chinese as I am American.

The 'ER' role was not Asian-specific, and my agent knew that I loved the show.

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

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

I'm sort of a gypsy at heart and don't like to stay in one place too long.

What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.
