Ming-Na Wen Quotations

I was hesitant to do 'Mulan II.' For me, I felt like the story that needed to be told, this legendary character of Mulan, was already encompassed in the first movie, and I was worried they would try to create this crazy cartoon character out of this legendary character of China.

I love doing TV. It's so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I'm with a family.

What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.

I'm sort of a gypsy at heart and don't like to stay in one place too long.

I was a total sci-fi geek. Star Wars was my ultimate favorite.

I hope Hong Kong and Asia wants to hire American Asian actresses as much as Hollywood has been hiring Chinese actors from Asia.

I've loved all forms of animation.

Both my parents are chefs I grew up in a restaurant and was always surrounded by cooks. I love food.

Mom takes all the credit for my success. Now Mom says, 'I read your face when you were a baby, and it said you were going to be a star. That's why I named you Ming - because it's all about the sun and the stars and enlightenment.'

I'm always excited to do the fight scenes.
