I didn't have a good childhood growing up.

I love going to coffee shops and just sitting and listening.

Life is like a movie to me. Everybody has their own movie that's playing out every day, and you're writing it.

In Chinese culture, it wouldn't occur to kids to question or talk back to their parents. In American culture, kids in books, TV shows and movies constantly score points with their snappy back talk. Typically, it's the parents who need to be taught a life lesson - by their children.

I'm working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.

I am not very comfortable about dancing at weddings and New Year parties. Maybe it's because of the way I have been brought up; I wouldn't want my family to feel that cringe moment. Dance is an art for me.

I have no family to take care of.
