"It’s given me purpose and helped me find myself. I harboured a lot of frustration as a youth. I both loved and hated that I was Asian- I was both proud and ashamed. I guess that duality came from being a part of two cultures. I absorbed HK film and saw my heroes lift me up but at the same time I lived in Australia; and that society and what I saw in western media beat me down. Being part of the industry has given me the opportunity to affect change and it’s what drives me to do what I do."

“Crazy Rich Asians reflects the women of our society. We see these women around us.”          — Gemma Chan, Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, and Awkwafina for Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year Issue
