Aya: There are a lot less roles for Asian Americans but people make it through with hard work and focus. There is a shortage of good, qualified Asian American actors, but this can be good and bad. It's not like trying out for a role in L.A. that calls for blonde hair and blue eyes.
(edit)
Aya: It's our time to have a voice. I hope that more Asian Americans will get the opportunity to work and get jobs. I need the support of my people around me.

Aya: (On her job as a cocktail waitress) Oh yes, I know what it's like to be surrounded by men. Drunk men spitting on you or asking the most insane questions like 'What's a pretty lady like you working in a place like this?' 'How about trying to earn a living?' I would tell them.
(edit)
Aya: (On being the only female on the main cast of Hawaii) We've had a few female guest stars, and when they come, I'm like, 'aloha, welcome' and beyond. It's like, I'm a woman, you're a woman. Thank God for estrogen!
