The younger generation is strange. Their concept is that Asian roles should always be higher class. They’re upset that I played prostitutes [like Suzie Wong]. They sneer at non-glamorous, outcast parts. I’m bothered by that reasoning. It’s like saying that the English shouldn’t play butlers. Characters are treasures whether they are dramatic or light. My prostitute did not cease being a human being. It was not a lesser role. I gave her all the power and humanity Suzie Wong deserved. An actor should be able to play a lower class character with all the depth and humanity they deserve as a full human being. This generation of Asian actresses thinks that they always have to play Grace Kelly parts. They are missing the point that you do what you can with a role you are given. - France Nuyen
