doughnut good named originals oscar portland shop telling won
The other day, a doughnut shop in Portland called Pip's Originals tweeted me telling me that they named a doughnut after me called the 'Dirty Wu.' It is a cinnamon sugar doughnut drizzled with honey and Nutella. It was so good. I just won the Oscar in the sci-fi world.
abundance asian best break good prove stopped wanting
I always tell Asian actors, especially Filipinos wanting to break into Hollywood, to study, study and study and show their best. I haven't stopped studying. There's an abundance of roles, and all you have to do is prove to them that you are good for the role.

against awesome efficient girls good guard hard matter offensive point score team
If you're going to play against a team with two big girls as good as they are, you have to be efficient at the offensive end. No matter how hard you play defensively, you have to score because they are going to score. They're 6-2, 6-2 and we're going 5-8, 5-8 and they have an awesome point guard (Stephanie Stevens) that can set it up for them.
When I was growing up in the Philippines, the story that was read to me most was Pinocchio.

One game plan was to see if we could make it 4-2 at halftime. We talked to the girls and they decided they wanted to play.
broader chinese gives quarter terms works
I'm a quarter Chinese and three-quarter Filipino. I don't look Filipino; I look more Chinese or Korean. It actually works in my favor: in terms of roles, it gives me a broader canvas.

I love being the character actor. I get to stretch my muscles a little more.
dad english life mom plane retired ride speak spoke states word
My dad is an ob-gyn - he's retired now - and he wanted to come to the States to make a better life, for opportunity. My mom said that, on the plane ride here, I did not want to speak a word of English - I spoke Tagalog. And then, after the first day of school, I didn't want to speak anything but English.
great time
When you're a kid, you think 'Oh, it's so great. I'm going to go to Hollywood. I'm going to go to Broadway.' For a long time, it was such a novelty.

I think that one of my favorite movie roles has been a film that I did with Jason Statham that was out last year called 'Safe.' I played the main bad guy in that.
acceptance harvard trophy
The acceptance to Harvard was more of trophy than a real possibility to me. I would have been miserable.
butter growing quite
The announcement that I was going to be an actor was made when was I was 10 years old. And that didn't go down all that well, but I had a lot of years to butter up my parents. My parents have mellowed quite a bit, but, growing up, there was a sense that the only real professions were doctor, engineer, lawyer. Those were your choices.
