I can finally say I'm a professional actress.

I'm used to one-dimensional female friendships. It's become a kind of trope.

Early on, you don't have the luxury of a lot of choices. Sometimes you're forced to do things that will advance your career and not necessarily things that fulfill you artistically, but I've been fortunate to do a lot of both.

You are the only you. That means you don't lose roles to anybody else. There's no competition, so they either want you or they don't want you, and it's not that they wanted someone else over you.

Comedy is a very rough beat. It's no holds barred, as it should be.

Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.

I joke around all the time, 'I'm Asian; I'm really good at math.'

I would love to play Mary in 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' or 'Virginia Woolf' or a comedy - just, like, a slapstick comedy.
