As a community, we're fighting for Asians to play Asian roles.

I can feel it. That's the character you play; that's the guy you don't want to be. So I'm more in control of it.

I see myself as no color. I can play the role of a man. I can paint my face white if I want to and play the role of white. I can play a green, I can be a purple.

A lot of the roles that I'm doing are roles that a man or a person of any color can do.
