art expressing musical supportive terms whatever
My parents were always supportive of me in terms of expressing myself artistically. Art, musical instruments, singing - whatever I did, they were just really supportive.
art artist best following great job whatever
I'm just following my own art, and I just think that the only thing I can do to be a great artist is do the best job I can in whatever movie I do.

I think that it'd be nice for other Asians to support other Asian artists and help each other instead of pull each other down.
breath calls fresh job keeps life personal pretend woman
Just be yourself. As an actor, you pretend all day - that's what the job calls for. So, when it comes to my personal life, a woman who keeps it real is a breath of fresh air.
asked believe car check coming dozen favorite inside keeping last pretended restaurant six smoke stuffed trunk
When it comes to romance, I believe in keeping it simple. With my last girlfriend, we were on our way to our favorite restaurant when I pretended that the car was crappin' out. I asked her to get out and check if smoke was coming from the exhaust. When she did, I popped the trunk and inside were six dozen roses and a stuffed bear.
funny issues talking
It's funny - when I started acting, I didn't know I was going to be talking about Asian-American issues so much. You know what, though? It just comes with the territory, being ethnic.

I'm gonna be pretty honest; there wasn't a lot of improv allowed on 'Eclipse.'

I love Irvine. That's my 'hood. I went to USC and used to come home every weekend. It's in my comfort zone.

'Twilight' is reaching so many people, and I think it's a really good step in the right direction for diversity and opening up doors.

Being an actor is great; you chill in your trailer, and they bring you a breakfast burrito and coffee. But as director, you're responsible for every little thing.
folk love music support
To be honest, I'm really into folk music, and I love Big Phony. I like Priscilla Ahn, and yeah, I really support Asian-American artists.

I'd love to work in a restaurant. You get to meet new people all the time and constantly socialize. There are no dull moments when you're serving. It would definitely be a fun job to have.
acting expected famous genuinely love penny
I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.
adopted ashley best director expect great hope maybe named philosophy ray theaters wayne
I did this one movie with a great director named Wayne Kramer. It was 'Crossing Over,' and Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta were in it. I was one of the leads, and I thought this was it. It got shelved for two years, and then it was in theaters maybe a week. After that, I adopted a philosophy of, 'Hope for the best, expect the worst.'
