Favorite Eddie Huang Quotes

1. "I wanted to inspire people not to work under a bamboo ceiling. Whatever you are - yellow, black, white, brown - you don't have to allow your skin to define who you are or how you operate your business. There's not one face to anything." ~ Eddie Huang
2. "I want to prove you don't need to have academic syntax to be intelligent." ~ Eddie Huang
3. "BaoHaus is idiosyncratic, creative, and artistic. My restaurant doesn't look like a Taiwanese restaurant." ~ Eddie Huang
4. "I'm so sick of people misunderstanding Asians in America and what we're about." ~ Eddie Huang
5. "New York felt to me like what America should be - a representation of the world in this small pocket." ~ Eddie Huang
6. "Black culture has been a huge influence in my life." ~ Eddie Huang
7. "I think my mom is manic, but Chinese people don't believe in psychologists. We just drink more tea when things go bad. Sometimes I agree; I think we're all over diagnosed." ~ Eddie Huang
8. "Good food makes me want to hit a punching bag like, Dat's right motherfucker. You done did it there." ~ Eddie Huang
9. "Whether it's food or women, the ones on front street are supermodels. Big hair, big tits, big trouble, but the one you come home to is probably something like cavatelli and red sauce. She's not screaming for attention because she knows she's good enough even if your dumb ass hasn't figured it out yet." ~ Eddie Huang
10. "To this day, I wake up at times, look in the mirror, and just stare, obsessed with the idea that the person I am in my head is something entirely different than what everyone else sees. That the way I look will prevent me from doing the things I want; that there really are sneetches with stars and I'm not one of them. I touch my face, I feel my skin, I check my color every day, and I swear it all feels right. But then someone says something and that sense of security and identity is gone before I know it." ~ Eddie Huang
11. "Xiang wei is the character a good dish has when it's robust, flavorful, and balanced but still maintains a certain light quality. That flavor comes, lingers on your tongue, stays long enough to make you crave it, but just when you think you have it figured out, it's gone. Timing is everything. Soup dumplings, sitcoms, one-night stands—good ones leave you wanting more." ~ Eddie Huang
12. "I don't do coupons or Reeboks. Life is too short to half-step." ~ Eddie Huang
13. "I'd argue with Warren, but it's a funny thing with people. Even if you argue, when that person isn't around to say their piece, you say it for them. You may not even link with their point, but out of loyalty you make that man's point for him 'cause he ain't there. Years later, in college, surrounded by cynical liberals like myself, I'd say things that I swear came out of Warren's mouth and it helped me understand that old saying that no man is an island. People ask me what my greatest strengths are and I say perspective. The best way to get that is to meet people that are polar opposites; you learn the most from them. There are pieces of you that are inherently yours, but everything else is a collection of the things you've seen and the people you've met. In the end, we're like the Triumph beat: who's next on this RZA track? Step up and drop a verse on my story. That's the illest." ~ Eddie Huang
14. "Word … I like this hip-hop! You got more of it?" "Yeah, Doggystyle comes out soon and I'll send it to you." When I got Doggystyle, my dad took it away. "What is this stuff? These dogs are having sex on the back! Who is this Doggy Dog?" ~ Eddie Huang
15. "Of course, my pops put chili oil in it immediately, but I wanted to taste the broth: intense, deep, and mind-numbing. It was one of those bites that make you think maybe, just maybe, your taste buds carry a cognitive key that can open something in your mind. Like the first time I heard Lauryn Hill's voice scratch over "Killing Me Softly," I felt that I just had a mental breakthrough via sound; there has to be something like that with taste. It was then and there that I realized, you can tell a story without words, just soup." ~ Eddie Huang
16. "For me, juicing isn't about binging and cleansing; I try to incorporate it into a balanced diet." ~ Eddie Huang
17. "I have more to say as a writer than from behind a wok." ~ Eddie Huang
18. "I like a walking culture; I need to be in a city where you can walk everywhere." ~ Eddie Huang
19. "I like being on camera, performing, seeing what people have in common." ~ Eddie Huang
20. "I wasn't meant to be an attorney, but I was meant to go to law school." ~ Eddie Huang
21. "I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses." ~ Eddie Huang
22. "My only goal as a comedian was to stomp the life out of the model-minority myth." ~ Eddie Huang
23. "Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food." ~ Eddie Huang
24. "There is a lot of food culture that goes on in the home and in the community in non-traditional ways. Food is a lot more than restaurants." ~ Eddie Huang
25. "When I feel off, I read the 'Tao Te Ching' to get my equilibrium right. I started reading it in the eleventh grade." ~ Eddie Huang
26. "I get so disenfranchised reading the news, because global borders and lines we've created are completely unnecessary. That's just another person on the other side, and it's his bad luck that he was born there and it's my good fortune that I was born here. It's all kind of illogical." ~ Eddie Huang
27. "But what I'm very interested in, whether it's writing, whether it's hosting a show, whether it's cooking food, I'm just into the discussions of identity, culture and the politics of culture." ~ Eddie Huang
