- I relate to that idea of not necessarily seeking out "interesting female roles," but "this character, this role, who happens to be a woman, is interesting to me, and I relate to it in some way, so I'm just gonna go with my gut and see where it leads me." Is it exciting to work on this? Even if I don't necessarily hit the nail on the head the first time, is the prospect of working on it getting my gears going?
- In terms of my own experience, my dad is first-generation, so his parents were from China, and my mom was born and raised in southern Illinois, and she was involved in the arts. My dad's a doctor. I was very much always encouraged [to pursue an acting career], but the mentality of 'get your education' was still there.
