I don't want to be here.

"To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own."

Actresses that I absolutely adore - I wish people wouldn’t just see me as the Asian girl who beats everyone up, or the Asian girl with no emotion. People see Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me. You add race to it, and it became, ‘Well, she’s too Asian’, or, ‘She’s too American’. I kind of got pushed out of both categories. It’s a very strange place to be. You’re not Asian enough and then you’re not American enough, so it gets really frustrating.

[I haven’t slept] or [I’m tired] are things that are irrelevant to the people watching TV. I thought the important thing was only how much to show there. Not showing it and damaging myself was also something that was up to me. There was no reason to make someone else do it, since I was doing something I loved, so I felt that it would be foolish if I didn’t show some strength there. (source)
