Stephanie Hsu shares lessons Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan taught her
Stephanie Hsu, Michelle Yeoh, and Ke Huy Quan all worked together on “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and it seems working on the film was a life-changing experience for Hsu in more ways than one . In a Feb. 22 interview with Variety, the actor opened up about how working with legends like Yeoh and Quan reframed his view of fame and time itself.
"I think sometimes our industry feels like once you're gone you can't stop and that's kind of a ramp-up," Hsu told the outlet when she was asked what she had learned from her partners. "I think it's important to remember that life, if you're lucky, is long. Careers in the arts need ebbs and flows to evolve into the next chapter of yourself. It's not not meant to be a frantic race."
She also paid tribute to Quan, who returned in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” proving her point about acting careers naturally existing in a constant state of flux. "Time is not linear and love is endless," Hsu said. "Ke [Huy Quan] came back because his love for it was so great that he couldn't hold it back any longer."
Quan himself addressed the unpredictable nature of his career revival in his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor at the 2023 Golden Globes. was that, if it was just luck. For so many years, I was afraid that I had nothing left to offer," he said. "No matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a child. Fortunately, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me," he added, referring to the directors of "Everything Everywhere All at Once", Dan Kwan and Daniel. Scheinert.
Yeoh echoed her sentiments in her own Golden Globes acceptance speech for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. "I was probably at a time when I was like, 'Hey, come on, girl, you had a really, really good run. You worked with some of the best people - Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Danny Boyle - and so on. , it's ok, everything's fine,'" she said. "Then came the greatest of gifts: 'Everything, everywhere, at once.'"
Yeoh, Quan and Hsu are all nominated (for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress respectively) for the 2023 Oscars. 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' is also up for Best picture on March 12 show.
