Bad Quote by Jackson Wang
“There's a specific location in Hong Kong called Mong Kok. There's a stereotype that people there dress funny, they're rude, etc. Just negative stuff that made me think to myself, 'Why is everyone looking at it in a bad way?' It's actually good. It's just a matter of how you think of it.”
