Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.

I'm not a minority: I'm a majority of one. We all are. To call someone a minority, you give them baggage, of not being full, or not being seen as full. All of us need to be seen as full human beings.

I feel like there is a part of me that represents a minority in the U.S., a minority around the world. People who struggle, people who want to succeed with drive and ambition.

It's hard to be a minority. People look at you a different way, like you don't belong, and I don't think many people realize just how difficult it is to live as a minority. Where I come from, we learn to tolerate one another. Whether one is of Chinese descent or Malay descent, what matters is we're part of the same country, the same world.

Like one of any minority, I have experienced prejudice.

I'm used to being in the minority. I'm a left-handed gay Jew. I've never felt, automatically, a member of any majority.
