Ronnie Chang had caught my eye when he did a piece on The Daily Show that mocked a racist Fox News segment about Chinatown. I love that he was smart and hilarious and clearly wasn't trying to please anybody.
When we were casting, I just wanted to cast Asians that I wanted to be like or had the confidence to be like and you had all of it.
I feel like, you know, the American dream still exists. Yes, it wasn't maybe not what our parents said it was and maybe not what we hoped it would be. But the idea of it still exists. And we have the power to control what that narrative will be in the future.
And I really wanted in the book to show any young dreamer out there or old dreamer when you're up, you're on the cusp of chasing your dream, that it can happen and that it's hard and that there's ups and downs and it's not overnight. But if you just keep walking, you'll end up at some place.
I also think that everyone has a camera now. Everyone's a creator. Everyone has on their phones or editing for Tik Tok or whatever it may be. And there's that's power. That is a very powerful thing in your hand.

And I think that's necessary in this world right now.
And I think that's necessary in this world right now. I mean, I did read this and it's a paper. I did read it. I was looking for my name. I was the whole time. It's already at the end. So I had to read the whole book before I could find out what you said about me.
