“Yes, well, inyeon is just really about human connectedness. It's somet...” — Greta Lee Quote

Yes, well, inyeon is just really about human connectedness. It's something that, maybe even for me personally, this concept felt foreign to me and philosophical, maybe academic. But the reality is, for Koreans, it's a very casual concept used every day and can even be used to describe a relationship with an object.

My sister and I used to do crazy things when our parents wouldn't buy us fancy things. We really wanted this Calvin Klein T-shirt, so we found a knockoff and cut it out and reattached it to our clothes. It was so fun.

My all-time favorite fail-proof look is anything with a trench. Can't go wrong.

Genuinely, a lot of my heroes have become more Asian. There's a lack of seeing people who look like us, so I get so much out of watching Chinese films, Korean films, Japanese films, which are free of the gaze and unburdened of having to do a certain kind of song and dance - having to be palpable, or having to explain 'I am this because of this.'

There is much more to schools than buildings. There are academic activities, how it reaches the community and its proximity to other programs.

My father came from a country called Bolivia. He was of Spanish descent. I never went to Bolivia until I was 60 years old, but apparently when he was 17, he had already planned his entire academic curriculum so that he could graduate high school and enter college in the United States. That's how much he wanted to come to this country.

What is the role of an academic - no matter what they're teaching - within political debate? It has to be that they make issues more complicated. The role of the academic is to make everything less simple.

I take music very seriously, but it's important to me that my music is - I don't know if 'intuitive' is the word, but there's a really important element of something kind of mysterious. It's not academic or esoteric.
