I really missed the East Coast. I love living in Hawaii, but I miss the changing of seasons.

I like to think that I'm not as ominous in real life.

Diversity is more than just a buzzword to me. It's my life.

There are people whose work I greatly admire who just don't write to my experience in any way.

It takes facing obstacles to grow strong enough to overcome them.

I'm funny at home too, but not deliberately. My wife is usually laughing at me rather than with me.

I've read some criticism of 'The Good Doctor' that says it's overly sweet and syrupy. I'll take that criticism, given the world that we live in. I'd much rather be on that side of the equation than the opposite.

It saddens me to know that I jeopardized the welfare of the kind people of Hawaii, a community that I love and call my home.

I've lived in Hawaii long enough now where people don't make a big deal about me being there; I'm just a part of the community, thankfully.

But with two boys and a new puppy, we don't get out much. We're usually home doing stuff together as a family, like watching 'Modern Family.'

I grew up in a steel town, and at the time, when I was a kid, there weren't any Asian families in the area. So it had its challenges.

I've always been really interested in the age of the samurai in Japan.
