Well, I know with Asian actors, and I have a lot of good Asian friends who are actors, very good actors, that never got a chance to really show their talent.
Keep trying.
All right, okay.
I think you're right. Both. Both.
Yes, that's right. Exactly right. OK. Yes.
Have you seen the films?
I don't think it's main problem. I think audience have changed, you know, the thought. I mean, in the old days, okay, I mean, my days, in the 60s.
Yeah. That's mean.
No, but they, I mean, my favorite director was David Lean, who did great films, Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia. They don't do that kind of films anymore. They really don't. And I wish they would come back to that. And maybe they will, because everything goes around. That's life, isn't it?
No, it's not a reason. I think it's just a phase. Maybe one day we'll go back to it.
I wish I knew. I mean, they're trying their best to do films. And films are not... I mean, television's taken over. And, you know, people don't go to movies in a movie house anymore. They don't.

Or films. I loved it. I didn't think it was bad.
No, it wasn't perfect.
But I thought they did very interesting films during my time, anyway. And I got a chance to play non-Asian roles. I mean, I played an American Indian in a Western, you know, and I played an English girl, as I said, or a circus performer with no nationality. So at least I had a chance to do that. Unfortunately, for Asian actors, they're not there yet. You know, I wish we would have more...
Asian directors, writers, producers, writing for Asians, making films for Asians with great roles for them to play. There's so many talented Asian actors out there.
Actors were no longer under contract. They were, you know, getting their agents together, being handled by lawyers, making their own deals. So it was a whole...
big change in that time and i don't know if it's good or bad but i think it's just another phase in life that we go through and hope you know maybe maybe things will come back again better better movies right more interesting movies okay so the the last thing um i want to ask you was like you're kind of you were born and raised in the east and you've been
I think there will always be political clashes. That's what makes the world interesting.
