I'm just a quirky, funny dude.

Look, to be honest, when certain movies like 'Ninja Assassin' came out, that had a sexy, sexy Asian man with a six-pack, that made some people think, 'Maybe I should go out there and date an Asian dude.' And that did pretty good for us in a way of representation.

When I became an American citizen, nothing's changed because I'm still Asian.

When I quit my internship and started doing standup to pursue my dreams and do that full time - I feel like that's when I 'Americaned.'

It comes from within to not be ashamed of our brothers and sisters who have accents.

When I was on the playground, people were calling me Jackie Chan.

Comedy and drama are like two different sports; they both require athleticism but they're different.

When you are in America, at least for me, as an immigrant, I try to be as Americanized as I could. I just want to be an actor, I don't just want to be an Asian actor necessarily.

I was first introduced to Kiesza when I saw her perform 'Hideaway' on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

It's so great when there's a catchy song that's fun and easy to listen to, but there's also a real artist behind it.

With a lot of pop music, they just have one song and a good beat, but there's not necessarily that much talent.

Nate Dogg is my favorite artist. I cried more when he passed than when Michael Jackson did.

I was actually fairly athletic and coordinated, but I never played any organized sports.

I remember the first couple of TV things I did, I was really nervous.

That's what's great about standup comedy: the instant feedback. You get up on stage, you tell a joke, if it doesn't work, come back the next day with a better version of it.

I was competitive ping-pong player. I played in youth tournaments, under the age of 13.

I tried a bunch of things, like Jiu Jitsu boxing classes. I don't know why, but I did.

I don't read in Chinese very well. Google Translate helps with that. It's cool that I can upload a photo and translate the text from it.

I spoke English when I moved to the U.S.A. but I had an accent. To get rid of it, I watched a lot of TV-shows and tried to repeat after the tv-hosts. I liked shows about hip-hop.

Mother always tries to buy things for a reasonable price. I was never allowed to buy things at full price. Probably, it's rooted in the Chinese mentality. We are very thrifty.

For once in my life, I wanted to flaunt my Asian side instead of hiding it to fit as somebody else... 'Crazy Rich Asians' made me want to get in touch with my roots, instead of running away from them.

I obeyed my parents' rules inside our Chinese household while I pursued my dreams in the American world outside.

I was doing stand-up at the Improv and when the host introduces you, 'OK, the next comedian, you've seen him on 'Silicon Valley.' People always clap. They really watch the show and they are fans of it. And then they said, 'You are also going to see him in 'Crazy Rich Asians,' and I did not expect this, but the applause was even louder.

One of my first big paychecks, I used it to buy a Rolex. I bought a used 1968 vintage Rolex. I was too cheap to buy a new one.
