bad borders born created fortune global good lines
I get so disenfranchised reading the news, because global borders and lines we've created are completely unnecessary. That's just another person on the other side, and it's his bad luck that he was born there and it's my good fortune that I was born here. It's all kind of illogical.
clean countries naive poor
I'll always be American in my world view and allegiance. American in the naive way I go to other countries and tell them how they should treat their poor or clean their water.
chinese east lower maintain puerto side
I choose to be American, I choose to live in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, I choose to have Puerto Rican/Jewish neighbors, and I choose to maintain my Chinese identity.
I wasn't meant to be an attorney, but I was meant to go to law school.
boxed people understand
I don't think people understand the model-minority stereotype is negative. You are boxed in. You have to untangle that to find your own path.
When I feel off, I read the 'Tao Te Ching' to get my equilibrium right. I started reading it in the eleventh grade.
I want to prove you don't need to have academic syntax to be intelligent.
america people
I'm so sick of people misunderstanding Asians in America and what we're about.
I had no desire to be a chef, but I had a desire to be someone who was heard.
almost avoid burned far feet hit learned mom
I don't want to get burned when I'm cooking. To avoid getting hit when pan-frying, I stand far away and use chopsticks that are almost two feet long. I learned it from my mom, who does the same thing.
