A Quote by John Cho

I'm friends with a lot of writers and so many of them say how much they hate signings and how they leave after a certain period of time. But what is so hard about sitting there while people tell you how much they love you? And if you don't like it, well, learn to like it. I try to take one person at a time. I never look down the line to see how many more people are left. And I always try to make people talk about something besides whatever they planned to say.

Some people study a text very deeply. The people are my text. I study their words and what their words sound like, over and over again.

By living in the world and living their experiences, they bring extraordinary truths. I try to do those truths justice.
