Quotes

“My friend Amandla Stenberg taught me about feminism, representation, activism, being a role model and standing up for what I believe in. I’m so grateful.”

“As an actor, that’s so rewarding to see those little bits and places where maybe you had an idea for the scene and you were kind of able to bring a little bit of yourself into your character.”

“I’m inspired by the kindness people show me and by the example the adults in my life set for me. I never forget how lucky I am as a young Asian American kid, an immigrant, that I’m able to do what I love and make people smile.”

“I’m also inspired by being able to be a positive role model for younger kids.”

“The best part about being an actress is getting to be a different character and tell a different story with each role. I get to explore that character and bring my own personality to each role.”

“The hardest part [about being an actress] is that not every role you love is right for you. You have to be able to deal with disappointment.”

“The best advice I’ve been given and that I try to give others is to trust the journey. You’ll get way more no’s than yes’s but everything happens for a reason. Every no will eventually lead you to something you want even more.”
