All Asian Parents Are Into Your Children

For The Past Few Years, I Was The More Visible Asian Performer, And I Think It Gave Young Girls A Kind Of Role Model Showing It's Possible To Actually Reach Success Doing Movies.

I Remember Watching Swan Lake And Everybody Looking Exactly The Same, But Being Able To Relate Because They Were The Only Company I Had Ever Seen Even On Video That Had Asian Dancers. The Asian Community In Hawaii Is Actually Almost As Dominant As The Caucasian Community. I Thought "i Can Relate To That Company Because They Look Like People That I See Every Day." They Weren't All Little Stick-thin Russian Ballerinas.

In My Life I Do Look Up To Actors, At My Age I Ask Myself, Who Else Is Playing Interesting Parts At My Age Which Is Very Difficult For A Female Actor. On Top Of It, Being A Minority, Having Come From China Makes It Harder.

I Love Any Opportunity To Be Able To Dance. It's In My Blood. I Mean, I Need To Do It As An Artist. I Need To Always Do It.

I Enjoy Going Back To Work Now Because Cinema Is Going Through An Exciting Period Because Young People Are Now Going Back To The Movie Theaters. But Things Are Different Though.
