The whole piece is a crescendo. It definitely builds and builds and builds until the idea was to make it feel like you possibly couldn’t take anymore. And then there’s this almost cathartical scene at the very end where you have this night baptism.

I wish people wouldn’t just see me as the Asian girl who beats everyone up, or the Asian girl with no emotion. People see Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me. You add race to it, and it became, ‘Well she’s too Asian’, or ‘She’s too American’. I kind of got pushed out of both categories. It’s a very strange place to be. You’re not Asian enough and then you’re not American enough.
