When you fall in love with favourite movie stars, it's not because they're movie stars and unattainable, but because they show you sides of themselves that are extremely personal.

Sarah Gadon

I'm definitely more Asian than a lot of people who have never been to Asia. But by blood and by race, they instantly say I deserve to be Asian. I've worked really hard to be Asian, and I think I'm Asian enough.

Henry Golding

Usually when you're Asian and you're on set, you're the only Asian there. Either you're the token Asian or you're the Asian sidekick.

Jimmy O. Yang

I think that's what we need more of: Asian-Americans on movie screens and TV screens where they're normalized. Where it's not about them being Asian or a person of color.

Julianne Moore

When you're the only Asian in the room, the last thing you want to do is to point out you're Asian. And be the Asian dude.

Jon M. Chu

There are no Asian leading men in Hollywood. There's not an Asian Ryan Gosling or an Asian Brad Pitt.

Ross Butler

Working with Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming, they're not just Chinese stars, they're movie stars.

Justin Lin

And so it became a priority for me to make sure that all Asian Canadians or Asian Americans or wherever you are, Asian Australians, felt like they belonged.

Simu Liu

Celebrities, movie stars and rock stars are losing their mystique.

Nikki Sixx

In British TV, if there is an Asian character, there usually has to be a reason for them to be Asian, whereas in America, you have a lot more roles where the person just happens to be Asian.
