I think all women should learn how to strip. It's a really healthy, extremely challenging thing to do.

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.

I love my hair. When I was young it had weird kinks and cowlicks in it, but I just grew into it. You grow into a lot of things.

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

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

In many Asian households, to not go on to higher education, that's like a big no-no. I know my parents' discouragement was for my own protection, and I'm really close to them now, but they didn't understand that there is value in this. That's because they didn't know.
