Asian literature is evolving with the people. It's always a reflection on what's happening to the culture at large.

Thinking back on it, I just really didn't have very many role models to look up to when it came to Asian actresses. And in that way, when I would see an Asian onscreen, it would be a secondary-type thing, and that's kind of how I ended up viewing myself in the world: as secondary.

Asian people have a unique way about them and a different sense of beauty. It's exotic to me. I like they way Asians project their feelings. There's a hardness to the culture, but at the same time there's a delicateness.

The Asian culture has to be a part of what we see on TV and in movies.

America must realize, there are conditions she must accept in Asia. The first is a diversity of Asian cultures, governments, economic and political systems; the second, that to run against the tide of Asian nationalism is worse than impractical - it is also highly dangerous.

The great quality of the 'Three Kingdoms' is that it seems to encapsulate and portray every facet of the Chinese personality.

There's so much emphasis on the economic might of China, of Southeast Asia, Asian 'Super Tigers' and things like that. But nobody was really looking from the perspective of a family story, of these individuals.

I think I've written about family and things in 'Taipei' which could be considered Asian culture.

A brief visit to Nepal started my insatiable love for Asian art.
