Female comedians are not competitive with one another.
There are just so few of us.
Is this a movie about friendship or a revenge fantasy for frustrated single ladies?
The biggest fear is to not die alone.
Women are really encouraged to find the right one and get married.
Is this your first lesbian role?
No, I’ve played quite a few over the years.
I mean, I considered them lesbians, even though they may not have been described that way.
Like inBrightwith Will Smith, I believed my character, Sergeant Ching, was a lesbian.
They don’t go into her story.
I just put it in the character description in my mind.
Only I know, maybe?
As a bisexual actress, how are you feeling about LGBTQ representation in film and TV these days?
It’s getting better.
What’s next for you?
I’m going to do Jay Leno’s CNBC show, actually.
Did you book this before or after he apologized for his jokes about Asians?
“Do you remember those?
Frankly, Asian jokes go over my head because I’ve heard so many of them.
I do a noise-canceling thing with them.
I booked Jay quite a while ago.
For him to step up and take responsibility is very meaningful.
I’m so pleased with his response.
