I copped this from Alpha Asian and thought some of you might find it interesting. Teddy Zee has a long list of achievements in Hollywood. Check out the video above where he shares advice on how to “make it.” He talks about the mindset/goals a person needs to have when beginning a career in Hollywood, how to think about race, and how to deal with family disapproval, etc.
I’ve spent too many years with my nose in books, but I think his advice seems sound. Lucky for writers, they never have to party. Or maybe they do. But that’s only after they become successful.

To me, that says it all. This is a really aware and grounded human being. He really makes sense. Humble, too.
Thanks J. Very inspirational.
He’s been there and done a lot. I think it’s great that he’s sharing. Glad you enjoyed it.
Check out this 2005 interview with Stephen Chow with Walter Chaw ( AA film critic) . To me he seems to have a similar life philosophy as Teddy, like you say, they’ve both done a lot:

It is great that he was one of the executives that involved with providing content for the studios and a few for Will Smith.
It was good that he brought Saving Face to the screen.
It is nice that he is working on an animation project with a Taiwanese company.
At the provided link, it states ” he has focused on doing co-productions that bridge Hollywood with China and Asia” – people look forward to info on how he is making this happen.
Will he be a champion for talented, professional, trained and creative artists of Asian descent in the United States – curious people are wondering
Thanks for the interview and Teddy’s participation.
