People are embracing the thing that made them different growing up instead of letting that thing elicit shame.

At one point, I quit acting for a little bit to study psycholinguistics - somewhat a more practical career. It just didn't feel right.

Everyone's going to fail at some point. Even if you choose the steadiest career, you're going to go through that.

If somebody judges me, then they're not my people, and that's all right.

Public service is about serving all the people, including the ones who are not like you.

I passionately support Hillary Clinton for president because she has devoted her life to public service and has been willing to learn and change along the way by listening to the people she serves.

Specificity is what makes good storytelling, and good storytelling is what makes money, and making money is then what encourages new producers to invest in different stories about Asians.

The more you know about somebody's back story, the deeper you can delve into that well, and the more your comedic choices resonate full-body instead of just being quick, quippy one-liners that are just like a bunch of people trying to be clever. Because after a while, cleverness is just really obnoxious!

Being an actor, in and of itself, is just hard. You have to just do it for its own sake.
