I'm like Madonna: I'm Ming-Na. Just my first and middle name. That's it. Pure and simple.

I appreciate both... for me, I think 'Star Wars' is more science fantasy and is based on a lot of great legendary heroes and morality plays and stuff. And 'Star Trek' is just pure fun. Pure science fun. And I've always appreciated both.

I was hesitant to do 'Mulan II.' For me, I felt like the story that needed to be told, this legendary character of Mulan, was already encompassed in the first movie, and I was worried they would try to create this crazy cartoon character out of this legendary character of China.

I'm not one of those actresses that's going to feel like I never achieved my dreams and goals and just get disgruntled and hate everything about the business. I've had so much fun.

When I grew up in Pittsburgh in my parents' restaurant, I was almost like a country bumpkin.

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