When I was growing up, Asians weren't known for dancing. I knew all my older aunts and uncles did, like, ballroom dancing and stuff. And then you saw all those dance crews, like Quest and Jabbawockeez, and now they're, like, known for dance.

I took tap classes growing up.

Black Panther' is a phenomenon - it is all right in its own thing.

Everyone who shoots dance sequences does it in a different way. Everyone who shoots fight sequences does it in a different way.

I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock.

My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.

I experienced no conflict between my mother and father, which was entirely due to my mother's compassion, intelligence, and maturity.

I'm attracted to stories that deal with the family and what it's like to be a member of that family, whether it's together or apart, given the pressures that are put on it by the outside world.
