My stepping away from acting was not an easy decision to make. I had to be realistic: There were not a lot of opportunities for an Asian actor at that time. I had no choice but to do something else, so I went to film school, graduated, and started working behind the camera.

More quotes by Ke Huy Quan

I was raised to never forget where I came from and to always remember who gave me my first opportunity.

There are so many people out there who doubt themselves, who have dreams they’ve given up or didn’t think would ever come true. To those people, I hope my story inspires them.

When I got back into acting, I decided I was going to go back to my birth name – that was really important to me.

When you have a dream and you kind of bury it because you think it won’t come true, to see it finally come true is incredible.

This time last year, all I was hoping for was just a job. And just when I think that it can’t get any better, it does. What an incredible honor.
