John Cho quotes
- "With music I get to feel real ownership with what I do. I write it, I
perform it and even if it is crap, it is mine. With acting, you are a
small part of the creative process, and sometimes it is hard to feel
like you are making an impact."
- "It's difficult having to hustle for jobs. Not knowing when the next job
is coming in. It's hard. There are not enough roles out there. I try
not to get wrapped up in it or I'll get depressed." - on being an Asian
