“I hate the outdoors. I'm a big snob.”

“Growing up, the only Asian face I saw on air was Connie Chung or extras on M*A*S*H. That was it. You could either be Chinese delivery guy No. 4 or maybe one day read the news.”

“Any band will say that they'd be nothing without the fans.”

“It's funny: being green to me was ingrained because my parents were always trying to save money, save water, turn off the lights, or arrange a carpool. I don't think my parents even know what it means to be green, but they were.”

“Very few people know what it's like being onstage looking out at a sea of bodies.”

“Some of the most green people in our lives are our parents and grandparents, who always bought locally and carefully. I remember my grandmother would buy a jar of cream and make it last for a long time. To me, that is just as green as something with an expensive, eco-savvy label on it.”

“I was voted 'most shy' in seventh grade! Can you even believe it?”

“I was one of three hosts for a daily talk show on the Oxygen network when it first launched in 2000. This was before 'Bad Girls Club,' so don't judge.”

“Ten million 16-year-old girls would sell their right arm to live the life that I've had.”

“The Hester Street Fair started off as a passion project. We imagined a space where friends and neighbors in the creative community could have a place to find an audience.”

“I'm extremely proud I'm an Asian female and I'm on television, because there aren't many of us.”

“People don't realize that being eco-friendly doesn't require radical changes. It's not an all-or-nothing thing. Really, it's about very simple, little changes you can make. You can still be into fashion, care about what your skin looks like, or think about what bag you're going to carry that day. You just learn to incorporate better choices.”

“I had an unusual college experience because I traveled the world while going to school at the same time. Now, to look back, I was very lucky.”

“Every awards show, I take the same date: my best friend, Blaire. I took my boyfriend once to the VMAs, and I never made that mistake again.”

“I love TV. I've done it since I was 16. I don't have another skill.”
