I was a star in England, but I've never been a star in America. Now I am.

I didn't go to America to be a star, but to try to reclaim my life.

I never pictured myself in California. I just thought I would be a character actress in New York on the stage. I never really had that stardom goal; I just wanted to be able to work as an actress and not as a waitress.

I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.

I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.

I decided that, somehow, I had to get out of there and go to Hollywood. I had never been to America.

I'm a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there's not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because I will never become an American movie star.

In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.

It's not at all my objective to become an Asian-American star.

So I built my entire career in the United States and that's why it feels like I'm an American actor.
