I’m not going to stop at one, ten, twenty people telling me “You’re too much like this” or “You’re not enough like that.” My team is well trained. I tell them “Just get me in the room, get me the audition, even if they’re looking for a blonde American woman,” because once I’m there, maybe I can bring something different and change someone’s mind. I try to force doors. I would never fit a character on paper.

❝I’ve been fortunate in my career, but, yes, there have been many times when I have been told my audition has been cancelled because they’re only going to see white people. The statistics are really depressing. I remember reading some that made me think: Oh, you are more likely to see an alien in a Hollywood film than an Asian woman.❞
