Calling someone fat doesnt make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesnt make you any smarter. All you can do in life is try and solve the problem in front of you.

I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common woman with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough

Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. Thats what it's like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt that you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me love like that has happened only once, and thats why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.

So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day.

I'm dishonest, and a dishonest woman you can always trust to be dishonest... Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid.

Je suis né à Saigon, Vietnam. Etant très timide, j'ai passé beaucoup de mon enfance là-haut la confection de courtepointes, des vêtements de poupée, et la peinture, au lieu de jouer avec d'autres enfants. Ma peinture a gagné Best of Show au prix d'exposition A 1974 enfants à Saigon parrainé par l'UNICEF. En 1975, ma famille a été divisée. J'ai fini à Hong Kong pendant un an avant d'immigrer aux États-Unis comme un orphelin. Après un hiver très neigeux et froid en Pennsylvanie, je suis venu à Los Angeles (où j'ai eu un passage à Hollywood - J'ai obtenu un rôle dans «Ciel et la Terre» d'Oliver Stone et a suivi avec un rôle prépondérant dans Elizabeth Hong Yang 'Touch Dans' en Chine, tout en travaillant comme mannequin pour 4 ans). Depuis lors, j'ai vécu, travaillé, et exposé mon travail dans de nombreuses régions des États-Unis

Je peins le paysage, paysage végétal, et les chiffres - surtout de pétrole sur le panneau. Objet n'est pas vraiment important pour moi. Je peux trouver l'excitation visuelle tout autour de moi ... inspirations sont inépuisables. J'aime peindre car cela me donne beaucoup de plaisir. Je me perds dans le temps et le jour de soucis quotidiens simplement disparaître ... et quand j'ai terminé une peinture je me sens comme une partie de moi, il sera toujours quand je suis allé.

J'ai reçu mon diplôme de peinture de Cal State University, Long Beach. Plus récemment, j'ai participé à un atelier avec Bo Bartlett et Nelson Shanks. Je suis aussi un membre de peintres à l'huile de l'Amérique.

J'ai reçu des subventions des Pollock-Krasner Foundation deux fois, et trois fois de la Fondation Elizabeth Greenshields. Mon travail est représenté dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées aux Etats-Unis, Canada, Mexique et en Europe.

"I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw. I'm scared of what I did, of who I am.... and most of all, I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."
