The beginning of my career was so brilliant. It wasn't until ten years later that I went, 'Oh, that was a big, fat fluke and, boy, was I ever lucky.

I can get a better role in TV and work more constantly than I can waiting around for my friends in Canada to call me every four years - which they do - and I go up there and play a leading role.

Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go.

In many Asian households, to not go on to higher education, that's like a big no-no. I know my parents' discouragement was for my own protection, and I'm really close to them now, but they didn't understand that there is value in this. That's because they didn't know.

Becoming an actor? If it's not a calling, don't do it. It's too hard.

I think all women should learn how to strip. It's a really healthy, extremely challenging thing to do.

With small breasts, you don't have to wear a bra with dresses that have some support. It feels sexy without one.
