Quotes

  • The challenge from the beginning was just the diversity and ‘We don’t really know what to do with you’ and ‘There’s not going to be a lot of work for you.
  • The lack of predictability with television is something that’s constantly changing what your perception of who you think your character is…
  • Growing up as somebody from another country, really, not what you see on television, I never saw myself in the forefront, ever. We were always in the background.
  • You can't allow fear to take over your life. If you do, you'll look back and you'll have regrets. I learned this a long time ago, because I think "my God, my parents came over from another country". It would be really scary for me to move to China and leave everything behind. But I have to remember that fear is something everyone feels and it's natural. You might feel fear 10 times a day in your life, and you have to try to understand it…
