You have to start thinking a little differently as an actor.

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

The 'ER' role was not Asian-specific, and my agent knew that I loved the show.

I'm as proud to be Chinese as I am American.

I'm always like, "Maybe I can drive the car. I can still fly the plane!"

I'm always excited to do the fight scenes.

I was a total sci-fi geek. Star Wars was my ultimate favorite.

Both my parents are chefs I grew up in a restaurant and was always surrounded by cooks. I love food.

What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.

I love doing TV. It's so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I'm with a family.

I'm sort of a gypsy at heart and don't like to stay in one place too long.

I would actually write books totally full of nothing BUT kissing scenes, but apparently people like books to have, like, "plots" or whatever.

Fight for what you want out of this one life.

I brooded over it. If it had been any other dream, I would have ignored it. But it was one of those dreams. One of those purple dreams. One of those dreams that had an unusual tendency to come true.

All jobs must be respected, because they are being done unto God.

Most original viewers of the Mickey Mouse Club didn't face the crush of family and social problems children have today.

I like better for one to say some foolish thing upon important matters than to be silent. That becomes the subject of discussion and dispute, and the truth is discovered.

A five-year-old Chinese girl knows more about football than I do.

And now we're lethal, infected with D'Evils

An angel! Nonsense! Everybody so describes his mistress; and yet I find it impossible to tell you how perfect she is, or why she is so perfect: suffice it to say she has captivated all my senses.

...and horror of horrors, he realized that he was experiencing some sort of a crush. He needed to kill something.
