Keiko: (About the Gilmore Girls cast) It's a happy cast, I'm so fortunate.
Keiko: Being an Asian-American actor doesn't make it more difficult. I see it as an opportunity. And a chance to help other Asian-American actors coming along.
Keiko: Being on a successful show is kind of like being a sea turtle. Every year sea turtles lay hundreds and hundreds of eggs but only a few manage to survive and mature. It's the same with TV pilots. There are so many great ideas, but for whatever reason only the lucky ones get picked up. I know that sounds kind of cheesy, but that's how it feels to me.
Keiko: I've learned a lot of things from Lane. For starters, she has this great friendship with Rory - this incredible female bond. Before the show I was a bit of a tomboy and most of my friends were guys. Now, however, I am still a tomboy, but I have started having some really great friendships with girls as well as guys.
