“My dad and I would go to Blockbuster and look for Asian films and we c...” — Fala Chen Quote

My dad and I would go to Blockbuster and look for Asian films and we could never find any. If we saw a Jackie Chan movie we would watch that because it was so comforting to see a face similar to ours.

I was so glad that I was able to use my skills of speaking Chinese in a film where the character is Chinese, because sometimes you actually don't get to do that. Especially in Hollywood blockbusters today because they want everyone around the world to understand what is happening, so they usually want you to speak English.

Whenever I get no callbacks from the casting people, I will try for the next one.

I regret something about every single one of my roles. I always, always have something to regret about them, because I just think I didn't do well enough with them.

The biggest critic I have in my life is my dad, so everything else is just a breeze; it doesn't really matter to me.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

I was 6, and I was in the opera 'Carmen.' My dad sang opera and got me into the children's chorus. I was super fat at the time and didn't make eye contact with anyone. I knew I loved acting ever since.

When I was very little, my dad had his own go kart team as well while he was still in F1, so I always joined and riding through the paddock on my bicycle.

It's football. You play football. You just play injured. That's how it is. A lot of it comes from my dad. He played for Hayden Fry University in the '80s. He used to tell me about the injuries he played with. One time he tore his ACL in Week 6 and then played in the Rose Bowl in Week 12. So, if he could do that, I can do anything.
