Quotes
“Writing has always been a way for me to pour out my feelings and thoughts. It’s always been my go to, because I’m quite introverted. So being in this industry, it was a natural transition for me to explore and learn about screenwriting.”
“Being a tiny, squeaky voiced Asian woman is challenging in a tough industry, set in a big city. Knowing how to defend myself [through mastering martial arts] has helped me feel a quiet confidence and safety I would otherwise lack.”
“I like having some things that I enjoy without having to worry about being a professional at it. I want to be able to be not great at some things.”
“My parents are immigrants and I’m first-generation, and I grew up both in Hong Kong and in the United States.”
“I want people to feel good when they watch [Never Have I Ever], I want them to feel entertained, and I want them to feel seen and heard.”
“I feel like maybe inside my own brain, my high school life was more dramatic and cool,” she says. “But from an exterior perspective, it was probably more nerdy and silly… Internally: Euphoria. Externally: Never Have I Ever.”
“I was always a creative, artistic person, but I was also very shy and hesitant about it. So I just continued doing what my parents really encouraged me to do.”
“Eventually [I had] to find the courage and just tell my parents, ‘Hey, I want to be an actor,’ and face their reaction, which was so hard because I want my parents to be happy and proud of me. After many, many years, they are so happy for me. And that just warms my heart.”
“[Unexpectable relationship]’s the best kind of love, when you fall in love and you don’t see it coming. They’re so different from each other, but somehow when you put them together, there’s a lot of chemistry. It’s cute and it works and it’s funny to watch.”
“I actually got a tattoo after we wrapped [Never Have I Ever filming]. It was an homage to Eleanor on the show. I got a tattoo of a shooting star. I’ll always look back and remember this time period in my life and just be so incredibly happy that I got to do it.”
“Going from school to school a lot gave me a sense of who I was. Maybe more so than the average kid in high school. I really learned about who I wanted to be and who I could be and that could really be anything.”
“It’s quite unfortunate that an Asian American with a complicated family life and artistic background isn’t represented a lot because I related to that very personally and I think a lot of other Asian Americans do too. I played my truth when I played Eleanor and her background for sure.”
“I’ve been acting my whole life, really. Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to act and thought about acting, and I just never grew out of it.”
“Initially, my family was a little concerned and a little scared for me, understandably. They’re very logical, practical people, and they’ve had to be because they’re immigrants and they didn’t come from money. So having their kid tell them they want to be an actor is shocking for them.”
“I’ve always been a creative person since I was a kid. But maybe around 14, for some reason, I got it in my head that acting would solve all my problems.”
“Being an Asian American actress, I never knew it was possible for me to be in a Jane Austen episode. I didn’t know that was possible. Being in a time-traveling superhero show allows you to do that. You could be in Jane Austen; you could be in Charlie Chaplin. You can be in all these different things that I never thought I could act in.”
Ramona Young is adept in a lot of things such as singing, acting, writing, and even doing martial arts. She has almost everything that is found desirable for a Hollywood star.
