Quotes

“My character, Samy, can be kind of bossy at times—but I don’t think bossy should be a negative term. Girls should be able to take the lead and not feel bad for doing it.”

“I had a role recently where they wanted me to smoke a cigarette. They were like, ‘Oh, it’s an herbal cigarette, it’s fine. You’re not going to be doing anything to your body.’ But I said no because I still didn’t feel comfortable.”

“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.”

“I don’t look super different, but I am different and I feel older. When I watch the [Marvelous and the Black Hole], it’s like those two or three years that were in between kind of just melted away.”

“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 think I’m tough, outspoken, artistic, quirky and unique.”

“I started out as a child model because I loved taking pictures. I worked a lot for Gap, Skechers, Gymboree, and I did a lot of catalog print work. I also did a few commercials and when I was 8, I asked my parents if I could try acting.”

“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.”

“When I’m not acting I love art, playing video games and listening to kpop. I love to read so if I’m resting, it’s usually with a good book.”

“I’m trying very hard to stay positive and talking to friends and just trying to be productive. I try to maintain a daily routine that includes yoga and exercise in addition to keeping up with my schoolwork. I’m also doing a lot of cooking and baking and helping my parents with meals.”

“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.”

Miya Cech is an actress with a promising future. With the talents and passion for learning she has, it is only natural that she is going to improve as she ages.
