I have three things I really, really want to do. I want to do aerial trapeze, I want to do martial arts, and I want to learn Russian. And, because of my life, I'm not able to do any of these.

For ages, I had this mullet until someone on the street stopped me and said, 'Darling, can I cut your hair for free? Because you look a bit weird.'

I love doing short films because they're much more intimate and there's far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

I need both music and acting to even think about surviving life. I don't have a choice.

Like a lot of people, I love a bit of blood and gore.

I recently went to New York for the first time, and honey, I'm in love with that place. I'm obsessed with its sausages.

I worry about my judgment when anything I believe in or do regularly begins to be accepted by the American public.

A corrupt practice may be abolished, but a soiled imagination is not easily cleansed.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

I am scared of being broke and famous. I think that would be the biggest curse.

Every Gag I tell must be based on truth. No matter how much I may exaggerate it, it must have a certain amount of Truth.... Now Rumor travels Faster, but it don't stay put as long as Truth.
