Dr. Christina Yang!
My favourite Sandra Oh character is Dr. Christina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy!
So many quotes here are some:
-Oh, screw beautiful, I’m brilliant! You wanna appease me, compliment my brain!
-If there’s no food, I’m going home.
-How am I supposed to get through the holidays without liquor?
-I’m laughing, just not externally.
-Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You’re on your own. Be on your own.
-Pretty good is not enough, I wanna be great.
-(She wore red on her wedding day) I’m not wearing white. It’s sexist and vaguely racist.
-If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more.
-Being aware of your crap, and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things.
-There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all.

Sandra played Evelyn Lau in a tv movie. I will bring Evelyn to meet Sandra if I receive the tickets.
I loved her in the movie, “Last a Night” when she also played a character named Sandra.
