02:00 - You got to see a couple different parts of Africa 30 years apart. What did you think of Johannesburg then [at the fall of apartheid] versus now?
06:04 - The differences between Trump’s and Biden’s media messaging regarding placing blame on Asians for the Covid-19 pandemic and their effects on hate crimes and domestic terrorism.
10:20 - You took 9 years off from your acting career to be a work-from-home bamboo flute-maker and dad. In “Warrior,” “Boogie,” and “A Father’s Son,” you play a Chinese-American dad. Do you think you were able to put your experiences of being a real life dad into your characters?
