Nothing ever stops me. Certainly coming into Hollywood, I knew that there would be certain limitations. But I also couldn't play a woman or I couldn't play a white hero. To play Asian and to speak with accents because I speak Japanese, it never really bothered me. All I always look for in every piece is how can I use this piece to move to the next step? So the worst thing about playing Asian bad guys would be to not be remembered... (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa)
