'The King of Masked Singer,' as they call it in Korea, it's the most popular show in Korea, and it's my mom's favorite show.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.
I always say 'Knocked Up' opened the doors, and 'Hangover' just burst it wide open. To this day, it's still surreal. And my wife's a doctor. All our friends are doctors - our close friends. And it's just that I have an odd job now. I think I'm like a doctor who had a detour, and I just have an odd job.
You can't get through medical school if you don't have a strong will and a strong constitution.
I went to Duke, which is... a Top Five school. Not community college. But whatever.
During the day, I was a doctor. At night, you know, I was a comic. And it was really just to let off some steam. It just became my golf, you know, in many ways. Most doctors have golf as a hobby. Mine was doing comedy.
The best thing I can recommend is to listen to your child. I really mean that.
I have my own show. I get to work in Hollywood on my own project. If I can still make it back home by eight to put the kids in bed, then wow: I am having my cake and eating it, too.
Medicine really matured me as a person because, as a physician, you're obviously dealing with life and death issues, issues much more serious than what we're talking about in entertainment. You can't get more serious than life and death. And if you can handle that, you can handle anything.
I wasn't sued out of medicine, I wasn't arbitrated out of the profession.
Comedy was always an escape for me; I just happened to be a doctor.
I'm definitely a people pleaser. I like people to be happy around me and be comfortable. I go out of my way, sometimes to a fault, to make sure everyone is okay.
I'm very blessed that I have such a supportive wife who is secure with letting me embarrass myself.
There is something special and different about being a father to twin daughters.
I never let on I was a comedian. I never acted out. It was really important to me, like, to not be Patch Adams. I was so super serious as a doctor, I would bark orders to my nurses. I was hard-core. I wanted to make sure I did my job right. I was perfectly trained to be a physician. You know, it wasn't a fluke. I worked hard at it.
That's what I loved about 'Community' - we had one of the most diverse casts on TV, but we didn't emphasize culture. And yet, we also didn't run away from it.
I always just loved to laugh. I always just loved it as a kid.
It was my wife that insisted I do 'The Hangover.'
I think critics tend to think that comedy is freakin' math. Like, this is the Pythagorean Theorem. They're not sophisticated enough to know that comedy is fluid, that it evolves, and these organic evolutions are what you have to embrace.
A lot of people don't know the passion I have for Asian American cinema.
