Bowen Yang on how being queer & Asian made him feel liberated on ‘SNL’: “I’m just gonna do what I want”
The fact that there hadn’t been an East Asian person who couldn’t pass as anyone else and be on camera here, that scared the sh*t out of me. But I think that attitude served me well coming in ‘cause I’m like, ‘I’m never gonna get this, so f*ck it. I’m just gonna do what I want.’
I think that’s the right thing to come in here with, just to feel some liberated sense of ‘This is who I am. Take it or leave it, like, literally take it or leave it.’
My point of view will be maybe that of an Asian person
