• "When you work with chains or any kind of weapons, or just when you're using hand-to-hand combat, you are going to get hurt."




• "In Japan, there's a whole ceremony when you fight. She takes off her shoes. It's such a quiet moment, and then she bows."




• "In a relationship I do want the man to be the aggressor. I like to be the girl, you know? I'm not going to make the first move, and if he's waiting around for that, then it's literally never going to happen. And that's frustrating."




• "Being Asian in this business is something you have to consider, because sometimes people aren't as open. They'll say, I can't see you with a Caucasian person."




• "Nobody really tells me what's going on, and I find out via the trades myself."




• "I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens, with no money. I was taught not to take anything for granted. If you're too busy being a diva or a freak, then you're not enjoying it."




• "Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that's why I don't have a boyfriend."




• "I think a lot of men are scared of me because of some of the roles they’ve seen me portray. I mean, I’ve played a dominatrix a lot... But it’s kind of a good scary. Men like to be scared around me."
