I love that synergy between being entertainers and having people respond. There's no greater reward.

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

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.

There's just so much love that goes into home cooking, and I think it will really help the American family overall. I'm hoping to maybe get a cookbook out one day because I've got some great family recipes.

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

Being a sci-fi geek, it was just lovely to be on a show where I pretend I'm in outer space. That's always been my dream: to pretend to be out in space or actually be out in space.
