Personal Quotes
[on what she learned from filming her first movie] Well, Wayne Wang,
the director, really helped me become a more mature actress. When I
first started filming, I was really over the top. He just helped bring
me down and make me real. That was really wonderful, a really wonderful
experience. Also, what I learned about filming is it takes forever. I
mean, there are so many different angles and shots. I mean, it just
takes forever.
[on
filming in a small town] Well, I'm kind of an urban girl. I like big
cities. I like New York. I like London. I like L.A. I like people. I get
lonely, really, really easily. But I think it was good. It was very
different and I think that's good.
