Quotes

add »
Yunjin: I completely lack the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, so basically one drink sends me running to the bathroom. I don't know what it feels like to be tipsy. (edit)
Yunjin: People are very cautious about coming up to you, like you must be very busy or you must have tons of guys surrounding you. I would really like to make it official that it's not true! Please! God, do I have to make the first move? Maybe. (edit)
Yunjin: (on her first acting role in "My Fair Lady") I was cast as only an extra, but that day, I stood on the stage and sang loudly in my own voice... When singing and acting on stage, I didn't feel the least bit awkward. I felt so at home under the lights... Something about being on stage just felt right. (edit)
Yunjin: I write out my English lines in Korean, phonetically. And I memorize it in Korean, versus English. It’s just easier to memorize. (edit)
Yunjin: (about "Lost") As soon as I read the script, I knew that it was either going to be the best show or the worst ever. Like, "You're on that weird show! On the island, a Fantasy Island type of thing." It was either going to be really good, or really bad. (edit)
