If I were to limit myself to the opportunities that were presented playing only Chinese-American parts, I would be virtually without a career.

As an actor, I have casting issues. I'm a minority. I don't have trouble making a living, but as far as being on the food chain of the pecking order of actors, I'm not at the top of it. With the jobs that I do, there are always control issues with directors and producers.

I have a hard time watching films and not thinking how I would play any part, whether its a man or a woman.

Asian people are very practical and come from a conservative world. The parents want their kids to be doctors and lawyers. There are casting calls for Asian children, but once the parents find out the children might miss school, they're opposed to it.

I'm a strong nonbeliever in the Christmas letter where you don't really read it because it's just full of kind of meaningless information. It doesn't really resonate to the person reading it, but it means so much to the person that wrote it.

I remain on SVU because it is an incredible opportunity.

I've always had tremendous support from my parents. I think there's a myth that gay people have lousy relationships with their parents.
