A career in film didn't seem like something I could attain. Whereas I grew up next to New York City, and I spent my life going into New York City seeing plays, and I was a theater actor in school. Acting on the stage felt really natural to me, and I liked it, and I wasn't terrible at it.
I was born in Seoul, South Korea; then I moved to New York City at the age of seventeen. In New York, I studied art and photography.

City government can and must help San Franciscans prepare for emergencies in order to avoid tragedy where possible and minimize loss of life and property when emergencies occur.

I can't read music. Instead, I'd do stuff inside the piano, do harmonics and all kinds of crazy things.

The judges were like, 'Very interesting interpretation!' I thought I was playing it right.

The one thing that you simply have to remember all the time that you are there, is that Hollywood is an oriental city. As long as you do that you might survive. If you try to equate it with anything else you'll perish.

I love Maira Kalman. She's an amazing illustrator and writer. I've loved her since I was in college, but when I moved to New York and experienced the same city she was drawing and writing about, I developed a whole new appreciation. Her work made me observe everything so much deeper and more joyfully.
The knife of corruption endangered the life of New York City. The scalpel of the law is making us well again.
