GS: Are they in New York?
Lee: In Bayside. My father is a smokeshop owner across the street from the Empire State Building. That's Koreatown. He's on 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue. He's happy with his work. My mother is an RN. Hopefully soon I plan to make sure they stop working. That's one of my priorities.
GS: Do you have ambitions to use your fame and looks to get into acting, for example?
Lee: It's definitely a possibility.

GS: Have you looked into it?
Lee: No. My greatest love is pool. All I know is that every moment I'm alive I want to do what I want to do, not what I have to do. Obviously you can't be a flake and not be responsible to your commitments. Just because you can play pool doesn't mean you can act or even model. When I took this [indicating her publicity photo] it was with some Revlon models, we were all in the same studio. They looked at this and said, 'There's no Asian woman alive that looks better than that!' At the same time, when I was in front of the camera, I was intimidated, I was insecure, I felt very uncomfortable because I wasn't in my own world. My world is pool. When the pictures came out, they said, 'You're a natural,' but boy when I was in front of the camera, I was very uncomfortable. Yes, I can say I would like to do it, but I don't want it enough to drop pool for it.
GS: What do you see yourself doing in five years, when you're 29?
Lee: Hopefully I will have been in at least one movie--I definitely want to do something like that at some point. A regular TV show--that's a lot of fun. I've already been doing that. I want to have children. I don't know if I'll have a kid by then.
GS: A movie, a husband and a kid?
Lee: I don't know about the movie. Definitely, I hope I'm married by then because otherwise I'm never going to get to have kids.
GS: What do you want in a husband?
Lee: Let's be realistic--I don't want to be with someone where I have to worry if he can feed himself. So they have to have at least a moderate income. They have to be someone I can respect and trust which is very important because I would have to be with someone that is at least somewhat close to as ambitious as I am. I can't be with someone that's just Jeanette's yes-man. 'Oh, Jeanette, you're great.' It's not that I hate that, but I want to be able to do that to my man. In my home I want to do the cooking, I want to keep the house, I want to be home when he gets home from work. I want to be a wife. PAGE 5
