“When you finally get to see yourself represented [on screen], you’re so inspired, and you realize, ‘oh my god, I can do this.’ … I hope watching To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before inspires Asian American actresses as well, and aspiring actors and actresses, and young girls. That’s really important to me. It’s unfortunate that [the first time you saw yourself reflected in Hollywood] is a hard question to answer because we haven’t had a lot of representation.”
