Daniel Dae Kim Quotes

What's great in theater is that you can sustain the arc of a character for a full three hours, whereas in film or TV, you have to create that arc in little pieces, and usually out of sequence. - Daniel Dae Kim

Well, here's what I'll say: The storytellers of 'Lost' have taken us on a pretty great journey, and there have been questions along the way, and criticisms along the way, but if you look at the totality of the show, or the experience of it as a whole, I think as long as you look at it from that perspective you'll be happy. - Daniel Dae Kim

One of the biggest challenges, acting-wise, has been charting a character's growth through the length of an entire season. On stage or in film, I'm able to see a character's journey from beginning to end in one story, but on 'Lost,' every episode opens a new chapter for Jin. It's a lot like real life, actually. You wake up every morning and never quite know what's going to happen. All I can say is that so far, it's been a really great ride. - Daniel Dae Kim

I've found Jin to be the exception to the rule. His story is integral to the plot of 'Lost,' and is the most fleshed out character I've ever played on TV. The thing I like most is that he's the opposite of what he seemed when the show first started. At first, he seemed to be a one dimensional, conservative, unfeeling Asian, but now you see that he's much more. - Daniel Dae Kim

It's always hard to see one of us go, because you know, we have such a strong bond with one another, and we were the original group. We missed Ian when he left.
