"I think the biggest shortcoming is the language. I myself used to go abroad to film, so I think not having the language is a very difficult thing because I can't communicate with them. Without language I cannot talk about the acting process. Just like Vietnamese actors, sometimes I don't act according to the script, but I also create more ideas. If I didn't have the language, I would feel like I was inferior to my friends."

"For Westerners, those with black hair and brown eyes default to be Chinese. I do not like it at all. I am proud of my country, culture, and people. I am Vietnamese. I am proud of my country, my people. We have a long history in the cinema, so it should be developed. For every character I play in Hollywood, I want to show the pride of my country. I think any actor or actress has their dreams and purposes."

"I think as a filmmaker, I just want to make my film shine, be recognized by the audience first. Besides, I also want to call on the Vietnamese audience to support Vietnamese films because they are the ones who decide the survival of the film. If the audience does not love it, the film will not have the opportunity to recover capital or shine on the market. If Vietnamese films are not supported and shined, it will be difficult for producers to produce films anymore, if this situation persists, there will be no more Vietnamese films to watch in the future. Therefore, I also want audiences with Vietnamese spirit to support Vietnamese films."

"I grew up in Norway, learned English there. I'm very grateful because that experience made me who I am today. It made me more independent."

"At present I am too busy with my filming schedule I don't have time to pursue my music career. Besides, the Vietnamese music industry is saturated with new comers, the audiences are confused with the music style of these new comers. Many singers have small success but they think they are stars that makes me bored of the of the music business now. I am not sure if i will return to music."

"For me, Hai Phượng reflects the current social reality of the child abduction problem, more than just a commercial movie. Through the process of finding a child, the film portrays the spiritual motherhood, the courage of a mother to be ready to face dangers, even to sacrifice her life to save her child. It is a very humanistic message that I want to dedicate to my final action movie."

"More and more female actresses are appearing on the big screen in the world in general and in Vietnam in particular, with the same thought that there will be more female leads for the audience. On the contrary, such films encourage and motivate girls to become independent, strong, and successful. That positive cycle gradually changes the society in which we live."

"When I have lived enough to a certain age, I will not bring a man to measure to a certain extent or to a certain standard. The most important thing right now is to find someone who understands me."

"She came over as a refugee from Vietnam, escaping from Vietnam War. Her family came over by a boat, things that we could not fathom. Then they had to come here and learn a whole new language, and just integrate themseleves to America."

"To all the people out there, you know just live out your dreams, if you dream something, just pursue it and do it because if you can put your mind to it you can do basically anything and everything you want to. I mean look at me, I came from a country that was falling apart because of communism and escaping to America, not knowing the language and then not learning it from beginning, and overcoming that and where I am now, you know it just shows you that if you put your mind to it you can do anything you want to."

"Tell all the fans that I completely adore them, and tell them I say, 'Thank you so much', for their love and support; and that I miss them terribly, and hopefully I get to see them or they get to see me up on the screen soon. And send my love, definitely."

"I was in school studying civil engineering. A guy approached me on the street and said that I had a interesting look-very exotic. He told me I should try to be in the industry."

"Lynda Carter played Wonder Woman and was one of the first female superheroes. It gives me more of an encouragement that we can be strong and can do whatever a guy can do."

"Each one of us has to take responsibility for reality, and present it so that kids will grow up familiar with that and say, OK. I've seen that before. I'm not afraid of it."

"She is one of the fearless people I ever met. She's just thoughtful about life and I am just gonna miss her a lot."

"Human needs to go through the abyss of pains and loss, because the more we suffer-the better. Con người cần phải được đau khổ, bởi có đau khổ mới hiểu được giá trị của hạnh phúc."

"In persevering through my own darkness, I found, I call it my immortal soul, and sanctuary, who can survive whatever life throws at me. Life's so short. To get up every morning and take a good look around in a way that takes nothing for granted. Every day is a gift. Never treat life casually. Never let the bitterness and devilry steal your sweetness, happiness. DRA-2015. Chậm rãi đi qua những khoảng tối của đời mình, tôi nhận ra, tôi gọi nó bằng cái tên: linh hồn bất tử, kẻ mà có thể tồn tại trước bất kỳ điều gì mà cuộc sống ném vào. Cuộc sống ngắn ngủi. Để thức dậy mỗi sớm mai, nhìn quanh và thấy không có gì phải hối tiếc. Mỗi ngày là một món quà tặng. Đừng bao giờ hờ hững với cuộc đời mình. Đừng bao giờ để cho sự cay đắng và tàn nhẫn của đời lấy đi những dịu ngọt và hạnh phúc của bản thân. DRA-2015"

"The humiliation brings me more strength and passion for life. Sự sỉ nhục giúp tôi trưởng thành hơn."

"Forgiveness is the highest nobleminded revenge. Tha thứ là sự trả thù cao thượng nhất."
