Quotes
“I was quite independent at that point in my life. I had been working part-time for a while, so I was able to save up enough money and pay for my tuition. My mom would have helped me pay for school if I needed it, but I felt like it was something I wanted to do on my own. A part of me was like, ‘Well, I can do whatever I want if I just do it myself.’”
“When I first read the [Fakes] script, that was something that I picked up on right away. Rebecca is Asian, but the storyline is not about her being Asian.”
“I hope that little girls will watch and can relate [to Becca], whereas people of my generation, we didn’t get that chance. It’s a great aspect of the show.”
“[Asian communities] never talk about shameful things, or how we’ve been mistreated. I think the older generation would rather focus on how we overcame things through hard work.”
“I think the reason why a lot of our parents are wary about their children going into the arts is
because it’s a hard career. Only a certain percentage really succeed and make it their actual professional career.”
“It’s not like [Asian parents] don’t want their kids to follow their dreams. It’s just difficult. Hard work doesn’t quantify opportunities and gigs in this industry, unfortunately.”
“My dream next role would be something in action. Stage combat would be really fun—throw a knife or something.”
“I always love filming in my hometown because it lets me see places that I’ve known forever, in a completely different light.”
“Fakes being set in Vancouver was one of the many things that hooked me right away about the project. It’s incredibly refreshing to be able to show off Vancouver as Vancouver. We were able to feature the seawall, Lions Gate bridge and many other local places that hold a special place in my heart. I’m so excited for locals to watch and hopefully, be proud of how the series shows off their city.”
