I take the responsibility of choosing seriously because it becomes an indelible part of your body of work. Something has to sing to me.

There was something about being in front of audiences when I was in elementary school plays that gave me a thrill. It was like the rush you get from a roller coaster drop.

I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.

I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am.

I'll talk to myself out loud a lot.
