I have no interest in art. Let me clarify – I have no interest in non-nude images.
I just didn’t want to be pigeonholed as an ‘ethnic comic’ or an ‘Asian comic.’ I just wanted to be on the same playing field as everyone else.
I’m an optimist – I feel like an amazing part of life is that at any moment.

For the majority of the time, I may as well have been just a really tan white kid. You know, I may as well have just been, like, a fat kid.
