People who have had family members killed are able to forgive the murderer because that's the only way they can move on.

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

I'm like Madonna: I'm Ming-Na. Just my first and middle name. That's it. Pure and simple.

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

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

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've loved all forms of animation.
