He said the work in building representation now lies in navigating and exploring the nuances of the stories being told about different cultures.

\"The easy part is cracking the door open and busting it down,\" he shared.

Now, he said, he's facing the hard part in working on \"all the nuance.\"

\"Asians are not one thing, we're 30 different things. We're 100 different things. How are we gonna decipher that between each other first, and then to share that with the world?\" he said.

When looking at his own future, Chu said the most important story he now has to tell is for his children.

\"What is the world to my kids? How do I want them to enter the world? Are they gonna be cynics, are they gonna be skeptics, are they gonna be optimists?\" he said. \"And I don't know that answer.\"

\"Every day, I'm framing the world in a different way, but I now realize that's my real job,\" he added. \"The movies are great. That's for me -- that's my selfish thing. But I'm building this world for them. And I hope they have everything they want for them to create the way they want to create.\"
