“Often, it’s in independent films where actors who wouldn’t get another chance get their chance. I was that actor. There were weird but insanely talented guys who came up with this little movie. They said the three words every actor so passionately wants to hear.” We want you. For the first time in a long time, I was given a second chance. For that, I owe it all to them. I shout out a huge thank you to Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, and our producer Jonathan Wang. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today. Finally, thanks to everyone who watched our movie. Once, twice, three times. The most I’ve heard is 16 times! Thank you very much.”

“I’m grateful we’re here now. I’m hopeful, and I’m hopeful for where things are going, but there’s still a lot of work to do. It’s not moving as fast as we all hope it is, but it’s okay because all sustainable improvements happen incrementally.” But yeah, it was this movie that emboldened me to pursue acting again. Now, I mean, with that question, I really…now I gotta think, all if? Maybe in a different universe, that was not the movie coming out, I might not go back to acting anymore.”
