Katie Chang

I want to use things I learn about writing in my acting, and vice versa.

People probably thought I was scary, but I was just uncomfortable with attention and tended to be a little closed off, except with friends. I learned to embrace the attention.

Now I've gotten to know more about the industry. And now that I'm over 18, I can work without my parents on set. That was nice and helped me get comfortable.

Of all the haunting moments of motherhood, few rank with hearing your own words come out of your daughter's mouth.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
