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

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.

A lot of things that I can't get into the room for, even just to be seen, is because they're just saying 'No. they're not casting non-white.' You're lumped into a category with people who are just not white.

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

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

If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really challenging.
