I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.

I equate fame towards people who know your work, people who will see your work. But all that stuff, like with the Genies and stuff like that, it was so much fun. It's so much fun and it's nice when it comes, but that's not what it's all about.

Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go.

I feel comfortable in places like London. You get many cultures in L.A. but it's strangely segregated.

Hollywood likes to put actors in boxes, and it likes to put Asian actors in really small boxes.

Becoming an actor? If it's not a calling, don't do it. It's too hard.

All the jobs I've gotten in the last two years are because directors have seen the work I've done - indie films, plays, short student films, TV - since I moved to the states in 1996. I mean, I have an entire career in Canada that nobody has seen.
