Quotes I moved to New Jersey when I was five, and I lived there for about six years. My dad was allocated to the New York branch of his company. Looking back, I'm so grateful because I got to learn both English and Korean at the same time, and it was just so natural for me, and it made it so much easier to study English afterwards. As quoted in "Discovery: Claudia Kim" in Interview Magazine (11 May 2015) Like the French, Koreans aim for a subtle and effortless look - while actually paying a lot of attention to the details. On the fashion preferences of Koreans in "The 6 Beauty Products Claudia Kim Swears By" in Allure (21 February 2017) Diversity has definitely been increasing, but still we have the issue of inclusion, and that is why I am so grateful about playing the role of Nagini in the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise. "I hope I am representing Asians well: Claudia Kim (IANS Interview)" in Business Standard (23 November 2018) Growing up, Karuna Shinsho on CNN was one of my idols, so I wanted to become either an anchorwoman or an international lawyer. As quoted in "Get to Know The Crimes of Grindelwald Star Claudia Kim" in Marie Claire (9 November 2018) I'm not sure if it's just my pride, but I think I was able to bring out a different vibe as a Korean in Hollywood where there are many Korean Americans. As quoted in "Claudia Kim says backlash over Fantastic Beasts casting was ‘unexpected’" in The Pueblo Cheiftain (26 October 2018) Not all the roles that I've gotten were stereotypical, but in Korea, especially for TV, it's a bit limited for women in their twenties and thirties. There aren't enough female roles. As quoted in "Everyone Is Going to Be Talking About Fantastic Beasts Actress Claudia Kim" in Glamour (14 November 2018) I personally love auditioning. It's not just about that part: it's about getting to meet new people and really introducing myself to them - getting my name out there more than getting just that project. As quoted in "Discovery: Claudia Kim" in Interview Magazine (11 May 2015) I'm just going to continue to think about what kind of films I want to do and what's out there for me to audition for, and I love trying. As quoted in "‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Is the Next Big Step for Claudia Kim" in The Wall Street Journal (24 April 2015) Some people suggested that I should try something else. It was a lot of things, but nothing really stood out for me. Nothing felt right, and this job as an actor happened by coincidence.
