For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.

If you know how to do a job very well, you keep doing it.

All Asian parents are into your children having a respectable, decent stable job. Acting was unimaginable to my parents.

I don't want to tell people what I make. It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of as a kid. I never think about it.

My whole mission is to have a long, interesting career, not a short spiky one.

It's my life, my career. I'm making all the decisions now.

The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.

At 14, you think you compete, you retire and you get a job. I didn't think gymnastics was a career that was going to change my life.
