I didn't want to be known as the reality-show star trying to be an actress, so I kept a lot of the failed auditions to myself. - Jamie Chung

There are these creative shows, all on cable, that are just so daring and out there. That's the stuff I really want to be a part of, like with 'Sucker Punch' and 'Hangover 2'. Those movies didn't hold back. They really went for it.

My parents, in their 40s, moved to a different country, started a business, bought a house, didn't speak the language, raised two kids - it's kind of amazing.

It's so important to work with material you can really mold and milk and create and evolve.
