| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Even as a kid, I’d have a recorder, and I’d lean it up against a TV and record ‘I Love Lucy.’ I loved hearing the audience laughing. It was really exciting to me. |
| 2 | I’ve been reading a lot about North Korea ever since I got the part in ‘The Interview’ because it’s just such a fascinating place. There are so many amazing stories of bravery coming out of there. |
| 3 | ‘Veep’ is definitely one of my favorite TV shows, and not because I’m in it. It’s just such a great show, and the fact that I’m on it is crazy to me because I love it so much. |
| 4 | The first thing I do is I check my emails and my texts. I guess I shouldn’t feel guilty about it at this point; it’s kind of the norm. Sometimes I’ll bounce around Twitter. And if I have time, I’ll catch up on the news, usually on ‘Huffington Post’ or ‘Salon.’ |
| 5 | My hope is that shows like ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ open the door for even more of those kinds of characters for Asian actors and actresses. |
| 6 | I’ve been called ‘Bruce Lee.’ I’ve been called other less offensive, but equally stupid and racist kind of terms. |
| 7 | I’m on Twitter, but I’m not super active. I follow a lot of the same people that a lot of people follow: Rob Delaney, Megan Amram, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, people I’ve worked with. |
| 8 | My parents were born in Korea. They spent a good part of their life in Korea. |
| 9 | I want to see more Asians on TV. I want to see more faces like mine on TV. |
| 10 | As an actor, you read so many scripts and parts written for Asian-specific characters, and you see a lot of stereotypes and a lot of one-note characters, especially in comedy. |
| 11 | I am obsessed with rap music – it’s such a big part of my life. |
| 12 | I don’t want to be the actor who’s followed by paparazzi, you know? I would like to just do good work and have that work be respected and acknowledged. |
