I also grew up, thankfully, with a love of language. That may have happened because I was bilingual at an early age. I stopped speaking Chinese when I was five, but I loved words.

What you'll find ultimately is that this whole question of who you are is a very, very interesting question and having two cultures to add to the mix of it makes it even more interesting.

I did see all of those things, and even more. I discovered how American I was. I also discovered how Chinese I was by the kind of family habits and routines that were so familiar.

I thought I was clever enough to write as well as these people and I didn't realize that there is something called originality and your own voice.

It is that self-determination of your identity, to define what it means to be an American, and that nobody defines that for you.

It's not just some philosophical babble of how things repeat themselves. You see the undercurrents of change and culture and that is history. It's those behaviors that are important.

We moved from 41st to 51st to 61st Street and Highland Avenue in Oakland. I mean, we were going higher and higher up in the world.

The hurdles and conflicts are really momentary. You get over them and you see what happens afterwards.

You write a book and you hope somebody will go out and pay $24.95 for what you've just said. I think books were my salvation. Books saved me from being miserable.

For myself, it's very personal. So I have a hard time accepting what is said about my work when it's taken apart.
