No matter what happens, we couldn't let people say Asian-American actors can't act.

It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.

People say I'm shrill and strident.

Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.

It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.

And people say it all the time: 'You're a celebrity.' No, I'm an actor. I'm a producer. I'm a director. I'm a toad. I'm roadkill. I'm anything but a celebrity.
