“One of my best friends growing up was Vietnamese, and he and his mom would teach me how to say certain things so I could impress my nail girls.

“English is English, no matter what accent you speak it in.”

“Funny enough, every role that I have had, I try to tone down my accent or speak with better diction.”

“I know Asian actors out there won't even audition for a role that have an accent. But for me, I was the kid with an accent. I still have an accent to some degree.”
