Asian Americans haven't had as many opportunities as other people to build their careers in Hollywood, just because there hasn't been that much of an interest, especially in Asian American males.

Daniel Wu

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

I definitely have been approached and reached out to by a lot of young Asian American and Asian women, which has been really cool for me.

Phillipa Soo

I've always been very passionate about trying to have Asian-Americans or Asian faces be more prominent in mainstream media.

Eric Nam

As a community, as a group of people as a society, Asian Americans have not always been visible, but we've always been present.

Tamlyn Tomita

I really dislike the fact that Asian males are constantly emasculated, whether it's American TV or films. You see it all the time, and it's so weird that they don't see sexuality in Asian men.

Daniel Wu

I've always been asked the question of, 'Do you feel like it's getting better over the years for Asian representation in Hollywood?' and I have always said, 'Well, it's better than it has been, but we have a long way to go.'

Keiko Agena

There aren't as many roles, and I think there's a lack of openness in casting an Asian character in a leading role or unless they're a stereotype. It's been hard. I've been able to play some non-stereotypical roles, which is great, but I have a lot of Asian actor friends who are struggling.

Kimiko Glenn

Early in my career, I was only being dissed by Chingy. Now, I'm being dissed by Eminem. Life is great.

Charlamagne tha God

I've been to Vector Arena, and I've seen it. I've stood in the middle and just appreciated the space, appreciated the volume of the place.

Joseph Parker

You can say now, 'I dissed him' - to diss, I dissed him - or, 'Stop dissing her'. And that's the interesting thing, that it's the prefix that's become the verb! It's a most remarkable development.

David Crystal

I am an Asian woman. I am a size 12 Asian woman. I have been a size 18 Asian woman. I have been a size 6 Asian woman. I have been a size 18 disabled Asian woman.

Jameela Jamil

What I've appreciated about the 'Bond' films is there's always been a subtle social relevance to them. They've always commented on the times.

Jeffrey Wright

Sadly, bird illustration has always been an under-appreciated art.

John Burnside

I've always been a target. Everyone looks me and says, 'I'm not going to let that Asian kid embarrass me. I'm going to go at him.' That's how it's been my whole life.

Jeremy Lin

The certainty that our football, the football of Spain, is recognised, that's very important to us - perhaps more important than the successes and the joy that you can create. Football hasn't always been appreciated, and luckily our football is appreciated now, at all levels of society.

Vicente del Bosque
