I wish people wouldn't just see me as the asian girl who beats everyone up, or the asian girl with no emotion. people see julia roberts or sandra bullock in a romantic comedy, but not me. you add raceto it, and it became, 'well, she's too asian', or, ‘she's too american’. i kind of got pushed out of both categories. it's a very strange place to be. you're not asian enough and then you're not american enough, so it gets really frustrating.

More From Lucy Liu

People talk about this julia roberts almost like it's a cup of pepsi. people think julia roberts is something they created. the fact is, 26 years ago, there was this scrunched-up little pink baby named julia roberts. i am a girl, like anybody else.
Girl Baby Thinking
Julia roberts and sandra bullock do romantic comedies. i do dark dramas. i do these movies well.
Drama Dark Comedy
She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
Smart Stupid Cat
Well, i came down to la initially to join the groundlings, which is an improv comedy group. i didn't get in, of course, becaue i'm not a part of the groundlings. i just assumed that i could walk in and take over. so they said: "hit the road jack." and i ended up getting an agent instead. they sent me out on a couple of leads and i ended up on a sitcom and van wilder thereafter and then pantsless with sandra bullock.
Couple Groups Agents
The beasts are very wise, their mouths are clean of lies, they talk one to the other, bullock to bullock brothers resting after their labors, each in stall with his neighbors, but man with goad and whip, breaks up their fellowship, shouts in their silky ears filling their soul with fears. when he has plowed the land, he says: "they understand." but the beasts in stall together, freed from the yoke and tether, say as the torn flank smoke: "nay, 'twas the whip that spoke."
Wise Brother Lying
Everyone feels awkward, everyone feels uncomfortable, everyone gets older, everyone gets lonely, everyone gets sick, everyone eventually dies. you’re at the aspen ideas fest, and you have these really smart, really accomplished people who pretend like they’ve somehow figured out a way to bypass the human condition. we live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human.

Lonely Race Imagination
It was sad and fierce all at once, alive with a lonely purity.
Lonely Alive Fierce
Christmas eve, and twelve of the clock. "now they are all on their knees," an elder said as we sat in a flock by the embers in hearth-side ease. we pictured the meek mild creatures where they dwelt in their strawy pen, nor did it occur to one of us there to doubt they were kneeling then. so fair a fancy few would weave in these years! yet, i feel if someone said on christmas eve, "come; see the oxen kneel, in the lonely barton by yonder coomb our childhood used to know," i should go with him in the gloom, hoping it might be so.
Lonely Loneliness Oxen
Nobody likes being alone that much. i don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. it just leads to disappointment.
