I had been in talks with Marvel prior to 'Iron Fist,' and I had researched all the prominent female roles that I was interested in. Colleen Wing came up really early in the process, and I had a strange feeling.

As a female actress - I've been doing this since I was a teenager - I often got approached with the ingenue roles: naive and wide-eyed and childlike.

When I came on to 'Iron Fist,' it was really Colleen Wing that sold it for me. I thought it was a good opportunity to see a really strong female Asian American.

I learned more on 'Spirit Warriors' than I think I have on any other job.

My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.

I've learned a tremendous amount. I've gained a lot of experience competing at the highest level with the best drivers in the world in F1.

You have a different experience as a woman walking through life; you just do.

I'm a simple, country, small-town girl at heart. I try and stick to the values that I learned as a child, and I lead my life as such.
