An action movie, a sci-fi action movie, would be my favourite thing in the world to do.
— Henry Golding
Travel opens eyes and perspectives.
Everybody's had problems with their family. Everybody's had the pressures of finding the right love or not loving the right person because other people say so.
A well-fitted suit is something that never goes wrong.
In 'Crazy Rich Asians,' Singapore will be seen as it should be seen, without CGI, without the altering of the images to be more Chinese - a representation of Singapore as we know it and love it.
I was very lucky: a lot of people go through the college system not knowing what they want to do. Thankfully my parents were very supportive of my choices and pretty much gave me free reign.
I get along so well with my wife's mom.
I just couldn't live without other cultures' cuisines.
There's so many places, personally, that I would love as a film fan to explore.
I want to tell amazing stories that inspire, that bring you out of your reality, give you dreams to be bigger and better than yourself. Hopefully, I can be that conduit.
I would love to be in 'Star Wars.'
Every one of us at some point in our lives has had the struggle with identity.
The one thing that I learned very young was to own my identity. And, I knew, I'm Asian through and through. There's nothing I needed to prove.
Jon Chu is an absolute genius with his story-weaving.
I'm super confident in who I am.
I've got so much respect for 'Bond.' It's such an iconic cultural behemoth. I love the whole story - Ian Fleming's stories are amazing.
I don't want to be defined as the Asian leading man. I want to be the leading man. Henry Golding.
I know a little bit of fisticuffs.
I always knew I wanted to act, but I never knew when and what would be the right time.
You could say mixed-race Eurasians have the exact same struggles as a character like Rachel Chu has had: not feeling at home in supposedly their motherland; not being white enough; not being Asian enough.
I'm rather conservative when it comes to what I wear.
Singapore is one of the greatest places in the world.
Bali is the sort of place where you can walk down the street and find something picturesque.
Constance Wu is so dedicated, Anna Kendrick is ridiculously funny, and Blake Lively is magnetic.
I've been to every single Asian country apart from Myanmar, on work, listening to human interest stories, giving me a broad outlook on all Asian cultures.
I'm going to be testing waters in all genres.
When I watch a movie, I want to be taken away into worlds that are beyond my imagination.
I would love to be in a Bond movie.
A lot of people say, 'I gotta win my awards.' I just wanna make great movies.
That freaks me out more than anything, the repercussions of success in this industry.
You own your identity; it is important to feel that way.
Hollywood had a history of whitewashing and not representing.
I don't want to get stuck in romantic comedy.
When you're in a seat getting your hair done, there's this instant trust.
The joy of tasting different cultures is it gives you a broad perspective, and you don't judge people from stereotypical characters you see in films.
Jon M. Chu is one of the most creative, convincing humans you'll ever meet.
We've all been that young love, trying to impress the in-laws or having these crazy cousins that we're related to by blood - we can't choose them as sort of friends, but they're there.
Hugo Boss is one of those brands that fits me perfectly.
You can have Asians being leading men that are sex symbols. You can have leading women powering through.
Bali is one of those places you can just keep going back to, and everything is there: the infrastructure, the culture, the art, the beautiful villas. My wife Liv and I go there quite often because we know that when we do arrive, it's like an instant holiday.
'Crazy Rich Asians' and 'A Simple Favor' were each a master class in filmmaking, and I had so much fun working with all my costars.
I was born in the jungles of Borneo.
I'm really up for the challenge physically to go into sci-fi action, thinking-man's action.
That leading-man expectation is, sadly, to have all these rippling muscles.
I'm half English - and it has been highlighted by people who tell me that I'm not Asian enough.
I can manage it if I don't make it in Hollywood. I've got nothing to lose, which is the great thing. There's no pressure.
The only reason I left the salon was really to chase these dreams of either being an MTV host or a travel host. I loved the idea of doing something fun and interesting for a living, and that is what got me over to Malaysia.
Never feeling really at home in any one country is always challenging. You realise that you have to lean on yourself and to own it.
You can hit the proverbial roof at certain areas in the industry unless you venture out. And I never really set out in my career to stay in one place. I wanted to go out and try new things. Luckily, I've had that opportunity.
Sometimes life throws you a shortcut. You either take it, or you continue the way you were going.
