Simu Liu's quotes

  • My watchlist says I'm somebody who cares deeply about Asian representation and telling our stories, because they haven't been told yet in Hollywood in a deep and meaningful way or they are just starting to be told.
  • I sing very unapologetically in the shower. I've seen almost every movie musical known to man. Would like to be in my own one day. Putting that out there.
  • [on his parents] Forgiveness and reconciliation are always possible. Never give up.
  • [on Premiere day of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) ] Truly a wonderful night that I will remember forever. My heart is filled with gratitude. I can't wait for you guys to watch!!
  • [Question on what are Asian snacks should be more widely available in convenience and gas stations across the land] shrimp chips and hello panda cookies with a little bit of filling on the inside
  • I really, really love Boba [bubble tea].
  • I would say that I want people to remember my name. I hope that people remember what I stood for.
  • [post on Twitter] I know you are all psyched about my awards but I just hugged Tom Hiddleston and I'm still in shock
  • [Twitter post] A historical win for cinema and for Asian representation but also I'm really scared of basements now #Parasite
  • I've had dogs in my life pretty much from the moment I've been on my own. I was 22 years old, actually, incidentally had just been laid off from my job and I had a dog. My parents just didn't understand any of it.
  • [on racism and lack of representation among Asian Americans] There is something missing in Asian America. They're missing people to tell them, 'It's okay to be who you are-you belong. Just be unapologetically you; you're not less than anybody else.
  • I'm someone who loves escaping into completely new and different worlds through watching movies and TV. Whether it's a world of wizards, orcs or Greco-Roman gods, I'm just somebody that loves being whisked away.
  • [on Twitter] I know you are all psyched about my awards but I just hugged Tom Hiddleston and I'm still in shock
  • [on watching movies at home or in theater] I like watching at home, but there's nothing better than sitting at a theater in a dark room, experiencing a movie on a massive screen with a bunch of strangers and just munching on popcorn.
  • [post on Twitter] Seeing all the little Asian kids dressed up as Shang-Chi is so precious. We should probably make more of these movies...
  • [which actors he would love to work with in the future] So many, Ran Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Michael B Jordan, Steven Yeun.
  • A great date night movie needs a fantastic "meet cute" moment. We all know that moment in the romantic movie where the main characters chases the other down and professes their feelings in this beautiful, perfect monologue.
  • My favorite movies were ones where the world building was so strong and I could just kind of disappear. It really has the power to transport you. It's like different places at different times.
  • [post on Twitter] It wasn't until I showed my parents the Chinese-language version of our poster that they finally became proud of me.
  • [As his fame increased, he began to speak out about issues that were important to him] I saw so many people who grew up like me, feeling invisible or as somebody who didn't belong
  • [Question on what Asian snacks should be more widely available in convenience and gas stations across the land] shrimp chips and hello panda cookies with a little bit of filling on the inside
  • [on Twitter] Seeing all the little Asian kids dressed up as Shang-Chi is so precious. We should probably make more of these movies...
  • Day 1 of my Shang-Chi training began all the way back in August of 2019. I could barely throw a punch or touch my toes. Every journey has a beginning.
  • My favorite genre is superhero movies. I mean, come on. It's the best.
  • [on what makes a good sitcom] The characters are really what makes a great sitcom. You have to have a balanced cast of wacky characters that you love to love and love to hate... it's got to have the perfect balance.
  • I really, really love Boba [bubble tea]. I love all sorts of boba. I love Boba Guys strawberry matcha latte, Jasmine milk tea. Nice and plain and simple, but I also love more dessert-based bobas, like panna cotta boba and creme brulee boba.
  • I love anything to do with Greco-Roman history.
  • [Before Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings] Kim's Convience was really the only meaningful credit I had on my name. Kim's Convience was really the only meaningful credit I had on my name.
  • I love sports and snowboarding.

  • [Twitter post] I declare war on unnecessary packaging.
  • [post on Twitter, Dec. 2020] Shoutout to all the immigrant families celebrating Christmas/the holidays in their own strange way. For example, instead of turkey and stuffing, my parents like to make dumplings and pressure me for grandchildren.
  • [post on Twitter] Recipe for the best dumplings in the world: Ground pork, shrimp, leek, egg, water, salt, and some sort of secret sauce my mom refuses to tell me [pouting emoji]. Will report if any new developments arise.
  • I did quite a few of my own stunts for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), that's part of the joy of getting to do movies like this is that you get to be a part of the action and I definitely wanted to do as much as I could.
  • [Twitter post in May 2021] Fun fact: Nine years ago I spent all of my severance money from Deloitte on a professional portfolio shoot.
  • [post on Twitter] I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to put a 'beauty filter' on your face; you're already perfect.
  • When I look forward into the future I don't necessarily know what exactly is gonna happen but I know that I'm gonna be breaking barriers wherever I go.
  • I've always been a massive fan of Boba and not just as a beverage itself, but for what it kind of represents for Asian-Americans. You know, it's a drink that's so distinctly is ours.
  • I don't actually drink alcohol, after college I was like why do I subject myself to this? I get the flush and I get like a pulsing headache and I sometimes get hives. It's not cute, so I stopped.
