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

I'm not a slave to fashion; I'm into exercising my individuality.

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

I was lucky on 'Arli$$.' I basically got to do whatever I wanted because HBO is great for that.

As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.

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.

We actors, we're a fragile bunch, and yet we need to be strong because 90% of our lives is rejection.
