Celina Jade’s 5 most popular quotes
- When I first got the audition for Shado, I went online and subscribed to DC Comics and read a bunch on Shado and the Yakuza, just to get to know her character better.
- My father was, like, the token bad white guy in all the old Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee films.
- I think there’s a part of us that fantasizes about having some sort of super power. If I could have one, it would definitely be teleportation!
- I confess I didn’t read the ‘Green Arrow’ comics before coming to play Shado. The comic books are not as easily accessible in Hong Kong as they are in the States. I do enjoy superhero fiction, though.
