"I laugh at that because heres a little……" — Ken Jeong
"I laugh at that because heres a little secret that no Asian actor will ever tell you. Every Asian has to read and has read a role and has performed a role that has required an accent. That is the business you guys have set up for us, all right. Thats just the way its done and thats fine but to me, is my job to make fun of that stereotype, to poke fun at the stupid holes that are supplied to us to be honest and we get ridiculous lines that we audition for all the time."
