Crazy Rich Asians

“I love dance, but acting was always an inner ambition. The ballet world is so closed, and there was so much more I wanted to do. The thing about being a dancer turned actor is that you know what hard work is. It’s true. And I’m so fucking grateful for that. In dancing, you can work hard and improve and see the results. With acting, you can work hard and it’s still luck of the draw.” — Sonoya Mizuno.

“The higher you go, the further it is to fall. That’s life, right? So it’s very important to appreciate and enjoy what you have, and to share it with others. As you can see, I am surrounded by very good people, my friends and people they have brought into my life, so it’s very enriching and it continues to be good.”

I know what my talents are, and at the end of the day I’m an actor who can dance.

This line, uh, was not scripted. He said that just randomly on the day. I thought it was a little cheesy, but he delivers it so well… We knew we wanted to show off her dress, we hadn’t seen what dress she was wearing. So this served both purposes of seeing how she dressed for the party and having a great moment for their kiss. — Jon M. Chu, ‘Notes on a Scene’ for Vanity Fair

It’s not my job to make you feel like a man. I can’t make you something you’re not.  — Gemma Chan as Astrid Leong in Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
