Amy believes the most important reason for her interest in Asian cultures, and her contact with them, is seeing her parents 'own virtues. "They are highly considerate people, very good to others, and love to help others." She feels these are Chinese virtues which are different from Western ones. "Americans are mostly individualistic and pragmatic."
Amy 認為，她會對亞洲文化如此感興趣，接觸得多當然是個原因；最重要的，則是從她父母身上看到的美德，「他們是非常體貼的人，對人是那麼好，喜歡幫助別人」，她說，她覺得這是中國人的美德，跟西方人不同，「美國人多半比較個人、實際」，她說。
