Actors From Hawaii

"Jason Momoa, star of the blockbuster DCEU film ‘Aquaman,” has recently become the victim of a smear attempt this week over an altered video taken out of context, that accuses him of fondling Lola Iolani Momoa, his eleven-year-old daughter. In the first minute of the video, where the alleged groping takes place, Momoa can be seen emotionally embracing his two children just prior to performing the dance. In the context of the full, unaltered video, it is clear that no inappropriate touching is actually happening between Momoa and his daughter. The doctored video, which shows just a mere snippet of a heavily zoomed-in shot of Jason Moma’s hand on his daughter, went viral via a post on Fly Height published on January 9, 2019 with the title “Sickening: Aquaman Actor Jason Momoa Caught Touching Underage Girls Breast On Video.” Since then the video has circulated throughout social media, causing many to falsely condemn Momoa. Momoa is planning to pursue legal actions against the creator of the misleading video."

"NO! NO! NO! Lola is a saint! She is gonna be a nun! Lola is a nun, she is a saint! NO!"

"Ariel’s very sweet; she’s very nice. She’s also a redhead, I’m gonna teach you about redheads some day. They’re very passionate, very passionate people."

"I’m not going to do well with it, I’ll just hate it if she brings home some dipshit bad boy. I’m like, ‘If you find a man who treats you better than I, good luck!’"

"I would always approach a show from the perspective of what I wanted to say historically, politically and socially. I examine the Asian American experience through my eyes and my perceptions. One thing I can tell you is that people who come to one of my shows, will leave the theater with a totally different perspective of the Asian American male…"

"Much of the time, we’re still looked at as foreigners, despite being here for four or five generations. This gives an overview of our experiences, how varied they are. Really, I want Asian Americans to look at ourselves, to be proud of our heritage. For non-Asians, I just want to inform. . . . Of course, I hope everybody is entertained along the way."

"I try to get everybody to enter my world real quickly. I think the audience starts to see that it’s a person going through a struggle, (and) with each performance piece, the exchange just keeps growing."

"I never interviewed someone so that I could put his story in the film. There is no specific person that I had in mind when I was writing the script. It just seemed that when I was ready to put it together, my head was filled with so many stories and people that it just flowed out. I almost didn’t have to think, just feel."
