Sandra Oh quote: "When your life changes and you become a more public person, in..."
When your life changes and you become a more public person, in some ways you need to be a more closed person, you know? Sandra Oh
I love my hair. When I was young it had weird kinks and cowlicks in it, but I just grew into it. You grow into a lot of things. Sandra Oh
I can get a better role in TV and work more constantly than I can waiting around for my friends in Canada to call me every four years - which they do - and I go up there and play a leading role. Sandra Oh
All the jobs I've gotten in the last two years are because directors have seen the work I've done - indie films, plays, short student films, TV - since I moved to the states in 1996. I mean, I have an entire career in Canada that nobody has seen. Sandra Oh
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna. Sandra Oh
In many Asian households, to not go on to higher education, that's like a big no-no. I know my parents' discouragement was for my own protection, and I'm really close to them now, but they didn't understand that there is value in this. That's because they didn't know. Sandra Oh
I equate fame towards people who know your work, people who will see your work. But all that stuff, like with the Genies and stuff like that, it was so much fun. It's so much fun and it's nice when it comes, but that's not what it's all about. Sandra Oh
People ask me what I'm writing. They think I'm Sandra Tsing Loh. Or they ask about stand-up. 'No, that's Margaret Cho.' I really think there is this kind of glomming, that they think we are somehow all the same person. Sandra Oh
Sandra Oh quote: "I think all women should learn how to strip. It's a really..."
I think all women should learn how to strip. It's a really healthy, extremely challenging thing to do. Sandra Oh
And on a Canadian set, everybody is equal. You get paid the same. You live together in barracks. You have a communal kitchen. You buy and cook your own food. Sandra Oh
I think the roles in television are better for women right now. At this point, I don't want to continue doing the same things I've been doing in film because it's very limited. Sandra Oh
Sandra Oh quote: "If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really..."
If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really challenging. Sandra Oh
Sandra Oh quote: "With small breasts, you don't have to wear a bra with dresses..."
With small breasts, you don't have to wear a bra with dresses that have some support. It feels sexy without one. Sandra Oh
I don't get jobs in films by auditioning. I'm not blonde. You can't place me in movies the way you can with certain actors. It's very difficult for my agents. Sandra Oh
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb. Sandra Oh
