If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English.
It's so much fun playing Ling, but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets. They think I'm going to bite their heads off or something.

Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.
