Quotes

“Hong Kong will always have my heart. When people think of Hong Kong, they think of a concrete jungle, high-rise buildings and skyscrapers—and it is that, but then there’s actually a lot of nature in Hong Kong too.”

“Yoga I’ve been doing for a lot longer. Cards are relatively new to me. It’s only within the beginning of this year, actually, [that] it started as a habit for me. I have to do it every day because they just help me so much with my introspection.”

“The most challenging and important thing in my life is to want the people I love to love me for who I am and who I really want to be. And not who they want me to be.”

“I really respected Yuri so much because she does step into her own voice and power in the series. And she won.”

“I always loved using movies or just pictures in general and telling stories that need to be told.”

“I think heteronormativity is a thing everywhere, but still more so in some countries than others — especially in a place like Korea.”

“The more we tell someone’s story, and we see it as a kid growing up, we think that’s what’s normal, you know? I think that is important.”

“Fans will DM me very personally, telling me that seeing Yuri on screen really helped them in their own journey trying to find themselves and their sexuality. That means so much to me because that is literally why I do my job — to have people watch the characters that I portray and the stories I tell through the characters, and that it resonates with them in some way.”
