Quote from Hollywood Reporter interview:
So it was 2019 and I was playing the female lead in this Broadway show called Be More Chill. And simultaneously, I was shooting season three of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. So it was a really crazy year for me. I was doing eight shows a week, and on Mondays, I was filming for Maisel, while on top of that, doing press. And then Maisel wrapped and Be More Chill closed around the same time. I had lived in New York for 11 years and I was starting to feel like, “Oh, I think I’m ready for some change.” But first, I knew that my friend Bowen Yang was doing a show called Nora from Queens, and this was before Bowen was announced on SNL. I don’t think he even got it yet, but he was doing Nora from Queens. And I was like, “Well, Bowen and I used to do comedy together in college. I’m sure there’s a dumb role available for me on that show…” So I did episode 108 and played a character named Shu Shu. And episode 108 just so happened to be directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert [Daniels]. Daniel Scheinert tells this story of when I walked into the audition room for that role, we all kept giggling as if we had been friends forever, and he was thinking in his head, “Stop embarrassing us, this is a work setting!” So even though we had only known each other for five minutes, we immediately had this very art-soulmate connection. And we had so much fun filming that episode. Simu Liu is in it. Jamie Chung, Harry Shum Jr.. We all had so much fun, so I was like, “I have to go to L.A. because I know that there are other young creatives who are just as weird as them and just as weird as me and are making cool things…” So I went to L.A. and within a week of me being there, the boys called me and said, “Hey, we’re working on [Everything Everywhere All at Once]. No pressure, but we think you’d be really great for it. Are you interested?” And without knowing Michelle Yeoh was attached, without knowing it was A24, I immediately was like, “Anything you guys do, I’m there.” I have always understood their sense of humor, but when I read the script, what really captured me was the depth and the soul of the family story, and also the very profound question of “What if?” or “Is the life that I’m living enough?” or “Could I have chosen a different path?”. So I’ve always believed in it, but I could’ve never imagined the response that we’re getting right now. It’s completely beyond any of our wildest dreams.

You know, every woman has issues with her body. I’m sure Adriana Lima has something she doesn’t like, which is ridiculous! But it’s just how women are. It’s one of those things where you have to love yourself for who you are; as long as you’re healthy, that’s all that matters. Girls deal with pressure differently. Some days I’m depressed, and other days I’m completely fine. The only advice I have for young women is to cherish the body you have now; when I was 18, I don’t think I did.

[on the death of Robin Williams] Robin was ‘on’ all the time. He was a joy to be around, let me tell you. In all the years I knew him I never got tired of him. He was a one-off, so warm, so human. In my quieter moments I do sometimes think I could have done more to help him. It’s a lonely life, show business. You spend a lot of time on your own, and if you dwell on these things you can hurt yourself, as Robin proved.
