I went snorkeling between tectonic plates in Iceland's Silfra fissure in the winter. You have to wear thermal layers and a wet suit and what's called a 'teddy-bear suit' so you don't die of hypothermia. My lips still went blue. That was an experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life - so beautiful and so quiet.
I learned more on 'Spirit Warriors' than I think I have on any other job.
Becoming an actress was just about being in the right place at the right time.
I want to continue to broaden expectations of what an Asian can be.
I was a real overachiever.
I've shied away from playing Asian characters. if you look back, I'm playing characters that have no relevance to my ethnicity.
I'm not a good katana user, bo staff user.
I was always going back and forth between Singapore and the U.K.
In Singapore, I'd spend the majority of my time at hawker centres because the food there is incredible.
The seafood in England is sad.
Asian food is amazing. I love a good Milo Dinosaur, bubble tea, and things like that.
I've always made a point to play roles that aren't specified by their ethnicity.
I would love to see an Asian American superhero.
When I came on to 'Iron Fist,' it was really Colleen Wing that sold it for me. I thought it was a good opportunity to see a really strong female Asian American.
I grew up in the English countryside, raising ducks and chickens.
I was a real wild kid, spending much more time outdoors than I ever did indoors.
When I'm traveling, I like extremes. It's nice for me to go to Canada in the mountains where it's snowing or to Cambodia where it's stifling.
I really struggle to fight and say lines at the same time. It's hard.
It's always fun playing a villain, I do have to say.
There's something about fantasy and sci-fi that seems more welcoming of different ethnicities.
