Miyoshi Umeki

"I wish somebody would help me right now, I didn’t expect and have nothing in my mind."

"I didn’t like doing it, but when someone pays you to do a job, you do the job, and you do your best."

"From growing up around Miyoshi for four years, I didn’t sense a lot of joy, but I felt her strength and her determination. Miyoshi got what she wanted by just being smart and quiet."

"I know it sounds weird nowadays, but she wanted to be a housewife and a mother. When I ask her why years later, she said she had achieved everything she wanted to achieve. Her dream was to come here and entertain."
