All the networks have always been willing to have ethnic people as the third or fourth lead or the best friend to the white person.

What’s amazing about ‘Desi Rascals’ is that once you get over the all-Asian cast, what it seems to be mainly about is what everyone else is concerned about. Young people. Getting off with each other. Being embarrassed by your parents. Being hurt by romance. You’ll watch it because it is entertaining, because it is moving, not because it is Asian Picture Quote #1

So I was drawing in a lot of the habit district in Brazil, put that together with an Asian influence, so there are a lot of different things in terms of architecture which assisted in the construction. Then every sci-fi movie I’ve grown up with from ‘Blade Runner’ to ‘Aliens’ and ‘Star Wars.’ Picture Quote #1

Most people in Iceland are blonde and blue-eyed. I was nicknamed ‘China girl’ in school ‘cos they thought I looked Asian Picture Quote #1

Sydney in general is eclectic.

But when we had this huge influx of Latino children from Central America, they said, Oh, you’re gonna have problems now Picture Quote #1

In 2008, Putin’s message was, ‘We aren’t like a Central Asian republic, we aren’t going to build a personalistic regime, we will have institutions.’ This is all abolished now. The very idea of a governing party and party career, as you have in China, that didn’t work Picture Quote #1

In traditional Asian arts, the word and the picture always sit next to each other. I have an aunt, a Chinese brush painter, who told me that when you do a Chinese brush painting, you have to pair the image up with some poetry Picture Quote #1
