You have to start thinking a little differently as an actor.

I'm always like, "Maybe I can drive the car. I can still fly the plane!"

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

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

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

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 doing TV. It's so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I'm with a family.
