“Please don’t ask me to be in your movie and be just… boring”. Love it. Can’t wait to see Hong Chau in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City!

I still see Ngoc Lan Tran…the role that was monstrously overlooked by the Oscars that year

[@organicskating]

Great interview! Am going to try looking for her other films. Agreed on her observation of Brendan's micro physicality for his role.

[@CagedJock]

She’s so thorough. Love her mindset.
