Fitting in to both sides of her family
I became Zelig, which is basically a term from a Woody Allen movie where he becomes whoever he's with, like a chameleon. Like I would go and visit my grandparents in Hawai'i, and my grandmother mostly spoke just Japanese, and I became like a pure Japanese girl when I was at her house. All of a sudden I just acted Japanese. I wanted her to love me. … And then when I'd go and visit my Jewish side, in Beverly Hills on my dad's side. All of a sudden I was a total Jew. Like my hair would frizz up immediately when I walked in the house, got a jewfro. And I'm like "hey, how ya doin' huh?" (laughs). I just become wherever I am, because you can't help it. Because they love you and you want to make them happy and they want to see you as whoever they are. And it’s just nice.
