Asian Quote by Greta Lee
“Genuinely, a lot of my heroes have become more Asian. There's a lack of seeing people who look like us, so I get so much out of watching Chinese films, Korean films, Japanese films, which are free of the gaze and unburdened of having to do a certain kind of song and dance - having to be palpable, or having to explain 'I am this because of this.'”
