My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.

I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.

I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.

I actually speak fluent English and Spanish and... I dabble in a couple of languages, but I'm not fluent in German, Russian and Arabic.

I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.

I am Taiwanese as well as Chinese.

I majored in Chinese Studies. I'm probably the only director of chicken Indian zombie movies who can speak pretty good Mandarin.

I am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.

I came, I studied architecture in America, so my technical background's completely western. But my seventeen years, the formative years of one's life, and I can't say that the Chineseness in me is not there.
