People think it's very strange because I love whale watching - you don't see whales a lot where I'm from.

While the Sanctuary has been most associated with whales and whale watching, it also serves as a steward of the submerged historical and cultural resources within its boundaries. We are extremely proud that our first dedicated mission to search and explore has produced such exciting results.

In L.A., you tend to see a lot of people do very bizarre things. I love it.

I think you can soften people's hearts, even if they have a lot of hate. Music can do that if it's beautiful and honest. If I can do that - soften just one person's heart - I consider myself successful already.

I love my headscarf. I wear my head wrap every day with my hoop earrings.

Home, to me, is where I am and where I feel most comfortable. Obviously, Malaysia is home. In L.A., my home is my apartment because that's my Malaysia.
