'Hairspray' was a show I was involved in from the very first reading, and I was 19. And, 'Hairspray', was one of my favorite movies growing up.

Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.

'Hairspray' was my first Broadway show. In the meantime, after the show was over, I would go down and do gigs at these clubs that I wasn't even old enough to get into. That continued on, and I think what ended up happening was that I just got these incredible opportunities on Broadway.

I loved scary movies growing up.

Magic Johnson was my favorite player growing up.

I think growing up as an Asian American there has always been a label: they're quiet, they don't have a strong presence on campus, they don't stand up for themselves. I think we have a really strong presence on campus, and it's frustrating when people don't realize we're doing good things. I'm very proud of my culture, very proud of my heritage, so it's something I want to share with everyone.
