Strange how of all the things I wrote, the one-liner K-Pop bit got the most attention. I’m not sure it’s a good thing that you guys see me as so………..one-track?
Isn’t it then even more of a contradiction that an “ang mo pai” is acting in Channel 8?
Being an artiste means learning and being aware about all forms of art, popular and not popular. After taking my entire career thus far to get to the point where I’m only JUST BEGINNING to understand acting, I have learnt never ever to dismiss or brush aside any form of art. Something that’s popular does not mean it’s any less difficult to attain, or that dues have not been paid (this is a highly flawed viewpoint that I also used to embrace). As an actress, I’m beginning to see how very dangerous and wrong it is to label and pigeonhole. And realizing all this has set me free to embrace new things.
It would be a travesty and very tragic to insist on being the frog in the well, simply for the sake of it.
