And so I told my mom that I wanted to be an actor and my mom being an immigrant was like, oh, okay, that's not, you know, my mom and her siblings all came to America with nothing and they all have like, you know, master's degrees and PhDs and become like top engineers and one has worked for NASA and they're doctors.
And so my mom was like, you know, we don't have a dentist or a lawyer in the family yet.
And I was like, yeah, I was like, okay, yeah.
Yeah, especially because she's like, wait, you want to do what?
She did tell me a long time ago, she goes, you want to be actor?
There is only one man that can do it.
However, he and I do have the same birthday.
And she was like, if you go to college and use your degree for one year, then I'll say, okay, you can go.
And now I know at this point I'm an adult, but it's an Asian family.
So it really mattered that my mom was there to support me.
