What people are saying.

“Sue Ann has a killer combination as an actress of being both fiercely intelligent and completely in touch with her emotional world.”
— Jason Katims, creator “As We See It”, Hollywood Reporter
“And as the turbulent Violet, who so often charges into scenes headfirst like a willful tornado of emotion, Pien is an immediate standout.”
— Variety
“To be able to play Violet, it was finally being able to be seen and understood...It took away a lot of this loneliness I had from my youth.”
“I was taught from a very young age to act my way through life.”
“Hopefully just having a female character, and one who’s also Asian will open up the community to just how varied autistic people can be.”
“The performances are seamless across the board, with Pien, playing a character nearly two decades her junior, particularly standing out as the emotionally volatile Violet.”
“Violet is quick to affection and quick to anger, and Pien’s elastic facial expressions are a conduit for her character’s rapidly shifting emotional states. Her smirk when she flirts with bad-boy fry-delivery guy Julian (Casey Mills) is hilariously conniving, while her sobs during a disappointing 26th-birthday party are devastating.” - Vulture
