00:00Hello! Hello! Hello!

00:02I love you means I love you in Korean.

00:05The most important thing is to remember

00:07What is this?

00:15A lesson I'd like to give to the next generation.

00:17I guess I'm an example of someone who came from England to Thailand

00:23and I've always wanted to be in Hollywood as an actor and it's finally happened.

00:28He's got to keep doing it and enjoy the process, that's the important thing.

00:31The lesson that I hope they can take away is to really believe in something that you're passionate for

00:37whether it goes against the grain or it's something that's not usual or it's taboo maybe

00:44and if you're really passionate about it, to just go for it.

00:47I've been trying to get this film, Girls Like Girls, made for 10 years

00:50and it's now getting made and I'm directing it as a woman of colour.

00:55It's so exciting to get to share this night with everyone

00:58and just never give up on your dreams, it's as simple as that.

01:01Anything is possible and you can just do it, you should just do it

01:04and there's nothing stopping other than yourself.

01:07Make your shit great, make it so great they can't ignore it

01:09and you're going to have to survive some things in order to make great things.

01:13So be as creative to figure out how to survive as you are making the thing.

01:17So don't put that aside saying that's not my job, make it all your job

01:20because it's your responsibility to get it made.

01:22Take the thing that you think is holding you back and make it your super power.

01:26Other Asian Americans say that they started skating because of me.

01:30I mean that's the type of stuff that really makes your heart melt.

01:33I feel the weight of the role and really hope that there's more Asian artists around

01:38that young artists can look up to.

01:40Everybody deserves love, no matter who you are, no matter where you're from.

01:44Everybody brings something unique and special to yourself.

01:55Life is too short, enjoy it, you know, live it.

01:59Dream, believe and make it happen.

02:00Dream massively big.

02:02Don't put limits on yourself.

02:03And believe in that you deserve more.

02:07Walking into every room like you belong.

02:09Don't worry about disappointing your past.

02:11There's not one single book that is the same.

02:13Go tell your story.

02:14It is unique.

02:15Find your own plan.

02:16You can accomplish your dreams.

02:18We can do it.

02:19It's really important to really take care of yourself.

02:21Not be too judgmental and be mindful.

02:22So I would say mindfulness is one of the most important things.

02:25I want to be a doula for every woman, man being birthing themselves into their 20s.

02:30You try on so many costumes.

02:32You get to determine what fits.

02:33You get to keep the hat, keep the bra, keep the nipple covers, keep the shoes of any outfit

02:37that you try on and it makes up you.

02:38So don't be afraid to try something on.

02:40It might become a part of you and embrace that.

02:42Anybody kind of paving new ground in sort of the Asian Pacific heritage is great.

02:47I mean people open doors for me and the idea that I can open doors for other people is

02:51part of the reason why I'm working so hard.

02:53Be uniquely you.

02:54You are uniquely you for a reason and you are here for a reason.

02:57So this is what you love to do.

02:59Work really hard.

03:00Don't take no for an answer and anything can happen.

03:02I am living proof of that.

03:03You can see how we're celebrating ourselves and our community today.

03:08And we're running so the next generation, you, can fly.

03:12It's powerful and this is our night.

03:14So it's really beautiful.
