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

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

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

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

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.
