In a 2023 interview, Ke Huy recalled the time when he worked as an assistant director. He was quoted as saying:

"When I walked on set, it was a different feeling, but I was still happy to be there, to be able to contribute to making movies. Now, because of that experience, when I walk on a movie set, I see everybody. I see the production assistants, I see the gaffer, I see the boom operator."

So many people have told us how much it meant to them to hear the family speaking in multiple languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, Chinglish and English) and we couldn't have pulled it off without her. This is her first job in the industry since she has moved here. She teared up when we hired her. But we’re the lucky ones!"
