Alex Tizon Zitate

In the America that I grew up in, men of Asia placed last in the hierarchy of manhood. They were invisible in the high-testosterone arenas of politics, big business, and sports. On television and in the movies, they were worse than invisible. They were embarrassing. We were embarrassing.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In dem Amerika, in dem ich aufgewachsen bin, haben Männer aus Asien den letzten Rang in der Hierarchie der Männlichkeit. Sie waren in den High-Testosteron-Arenen der Politik, des Big Business und des Sports unsichtbar. Im Fernsehen und im Kino waren sie schlimmer als unsichtbar. Sie waren peinlich. Wir waren peinlich.

Playing Mark Antony in Julius Caesar was the most thrilling thing I've done. You get these speeches that were written for men, and you're running around like an action hero, climbing scaffolding and beating people up. It was very freeing.

The place was crawling with youngsters. It was good, because the kids were good. I can't make a general assumption. Again, you're probably getting, as a general theme from me, that I don't make a lot of broad, sweeping rules about movies.
