I've been very fortunate to have good people in my life, and when you find good people, you gotta hold onto them real tight.
Life's too short. Don't be afraid to love and then keep loving and keep loving and doing more loving.
I grew up on 'Spongebob.' If I had known there was an even better cartoon out there like 'X-Men,' you best believe I would have grown up on that.
I was born in Vietnam, and I was adopted by an Irish lady and a Hungarian man, and then I moved to America.
Oh, my God, I love pasta.
When I first started auditioning, I was so, dare I say, desperate and hungry for a job that I pretty much went out for anything my agents sent me with a few exceptions.
I do a lot of journaling.
Oh, in high school, I wore a uniform!
I love educating myself on different cultures' dishes and foods that are important and celebrated within that culture. I also think food brings people together. It's unifying!
I could've gone to prom... or I could've done 'X-Men.'
High school's weird, man.
MySpace was kind of coming to an end when I got onto social media. So my first experience was with Facebook, and there was, like, a penguin game where you feed your penguins, and you have penguin friends.
I quite enjoyed doing 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' because I felt like I got the actual co-ed experience. Because I went to an all-girls school, and that was fun - I love just putting on a uniform and living my life - but I also like to flirt with guys. I didn't get to do that in high school.
It's hard to tell people how you really, truly feel about them, especially if the feeling is love.
I'm a vegetarian, so I have a huge fear of blood.
There's a misconception that I can't relate to the quote-unquote 'Asian-American experience' because I didn't grow up with an Asian mom and dad. And that's just not true. I am Asian American, and so playing a girl who is half Korean, half white, but her white dad tried really hard to connect with her mom's heritage - that's very familiar to me.
My parents always wanted me to learn about my culture and tried to make me eat Vietnamese food.
My parents would dress us up in traditional Vietnamese clothing to go to school for heritage day. We have a Vietnamese nanny that my parents wanted us to have so we could stay in touch and know where we came from.
I don't think people think I'm funny, but in my head, I'm like, 'I am!'
I think screenwriters, I think editors in the cutting room - they have a lot of responsibility that we don't think about, but they could cut the coverage of an Asian person to focus on a white person because, unknowingly, they think that white person has more to say or is more interesting.
