Truth be told: Cristina will always be the best character on Grey's anatomy. Sandra Oh portrayed her so perfectly
Periodt
It’s “Cristina” by the way
And I agreee she’s the best
@@llayton5079 oh thanks!
We miss Christina!!!
True
I swear this women is ageless.
that's the Asian gene 🧬
Until she hits 60 then the asian genes kick in
@@Punkimos 59.5.
Woman.
How old is shr
She is just as fiery and driven as Cristina. No wonder she fit the part.
Shes nothing like cristina, cristina is my fav character but sandra is super nice and cristina a lil mean 😂
she never said sandra was mean she said she was fiery and driven like her😂
i can’t look at her as sandra oh that’s mf cristina yang😂
jade geisbrecht nahhh sandra has done really good work princess diaries killing eve is really good too
Yessss
she has not aged since greys, she is so gorgeous and so cleverly spoken I love her
asian dont raisin
Matheus Chong asian and black peoole have the best genes like we got it ayyyyy 👁👅👁
parisse martinez. it’s not even racist
@@parissemartinez.8620 girl are you ok?
Ketura McQueen good
She's over 30 yrs old when she started Grey's Anatomy and now she's 50 yrs old. And she didn't age, her hair stays still the same, her voice, her face didnt change
Wtf I didn't know she's 50. Wait what?????
@@ros6084 yes and most of them in greys are now 50+ y/os
@@diannemanalili1192 the original cast yes (the few that are left), but not most of them all that are in greys
literally she looked like she was in her twenties in greys
I love her hair
It's funny to think that Cristina started as Meredith's nemesis... They ended up being literal soulmates
what is nemesis?
@@procrastinationstation7175 It’s the revenge goddess in old Greece or something like that i guess (like her enemy)
@@user-pv3tf4wy3t i mean metaphorically
@@procrastinationstation7175 like a rival
Paris and Rory remind me of them. I love it.
I can’t imagine any other person playing Christina Yang or Bailey or every character for that matter. I’m still pissed about Lexie grey and Mark Sloan.
Hahaha..ha.ha.....ha...aaaa yea i miss my babies 😭😭😭
My roomate is watching Greys for the first time. We are on season 8, almost to the finale and she has decided Mark and Lexie are her favorite characters. RIP lol
@@urbanvampyre7125 oof i think it happens at the end of season 8
@@lemonsnailz1524 It does. She was devastated with George. Cant wait to see her with these two. I have tissues discreetly at the ready XD
@@urbanvampyre7125 lol. no spoilers but its really sad
Beautifully said: "I was practicing asking for what I wanted and I was willing to walk from it"
Moreso "I am only now going to audition for parts that are essential to the plot, otherwise there is no point to this."
Just swing the bat 🏏I love her!!
That is so christina ! Of course they choose her for the role after this :)
So inspirational
I applied this in a job interview when i was unhappy with my career a year ago, and i got what i wanted. Sandra helped me through it, i literally watched this interview the night before lol
Grey’s really went downhill for me when Cristina left.
I'm still trying to hang in their mostly all my favorites left the show. That's why I get my fix on Netflix for the first few seasons once a year
Stopped watching it after Christina left. The show ended for me there.
Why even have a 'person' if they're easily replaceable, really says something about the state of the show. Goes without saying that when they axed Derek in quick succession after Yang, that too made me quit. I won't fault Ellen Pompeo for staying - she's making bank, and it doesn't seem like there has been any other offers - anyone in her position would. But Meredith's storyline ended when they both left.
The first 3 seasons of every show are always the best. Four, maybe five if they are really lucky. After five years, they either plateau for while then sink or just sink point blank. No show should go on forever. Honestly. Compare any shows first and last season. Friends, Charmed, ER, Vampire Diaries, Once Upon A Time. It’s just how it is.
agree😩
@@springlady8337 I personally think that it isn't necessarily that the show "downgrades" but evolves to fit a new audience, a new generation. Similar to shows like Skins that focus on new characters after a few seasons, Grey's just evolved into Meredith and Alex taking on those teaching roles and allowing for the new cast to sort of shine and tell their story. Just like life, people move on. They change, they grow, and they start forming the new generations so they can one day take over. It helps get new audiences involved in the show. You keep the older audience who has been there since the start and is maybe going through the same life transitions (i.e. kids, marriage, loss), but you can also reel in those people who are experiencing the life of interns and residents (finishing college, embarking on their new career, dealing with hardass bosses) I think to really stay into a long-running show like this, people need to treat it as an evolution and less like they're watching the same show week by week. I have my favorite seasons that I go back to watch during the off-season. I reminisce over the way I felt the first time I experienced it all, but I also appreciate just how much the show has grown over time.
I love her character on Grey's, she was the only person who could do Christina. I stopped watching after she left, good on her.
i know it’s upsetting my friend did that and i scream at her all the time because it gets soooo much better and even tho bad things happen especially season 16 WATCH IT
katherine dimaggio I personally think it slowly gets worse after she leaves. Like certain characters thrive but once they started backpedaling, it got worse. So now, when I rewatch, I stop after Cristina leaves
Same
Kiara I mean I get it. But I think there are some good moments worth watching for
it’s not the same without her in the show 😭
What she is saying is applicable to everybody. Go get what you want, but don't sell yourself short, know your worth and don't compromise. You are good enough, they will come back and get you. Most people underestimate themselves
Exactly what she said to Dr Bailey in season 4 episode 10.
lol, how many jobs i screwed myself over by agreeing to whdt they offered instead of truly standing up for what im worth
@@theclimbingchef Me too, I need to learn to love myself enough to walk away from sh!tty offer.
No....she is specifically talking about how certain roles are way harder to get as an Asian woman....that's definitely not applicable to everyone 🙄
What if you dont know what you REALLY want? 🤔
"Practicing asking for what I want and walking away from it" is textbook Cristina. She was perfectly cast.
She still walked away from the show . Sometime what you looking for is under your nose
Those words her words have resonated in me.
exactly
hey allyyy
Grey's wouldn't have been the same if not for the extraordinary Cristina!
She literally chose to be the main Character, not only in her job but also in her life... what a queen
She’s so self-assured, eloquent and has high expectations for herself. Love her to death!
the fact that ppl wouldn't cast her as much cause of her being partly Asian is crazy to me.. it also amazed me when they wouldn't cast her as Christina, because in my opinion she is far better actress than the main lead. (not to compare fellow actresses but I do believe that Sandra carried out a maybe more experienced performance)
Yeah it's really sad I don't know if you know an actress by the name Chloe Bennet she was the leading role in Marvel's agents of shield. Her real name is Chloe Wang but she said she wasn't getting any jobs with her chinese last name so she switched to her fathers first name and started getting more auditions.
She's not partly Asian, both of her parents are Korean and she is beautifully, wonderfully fully Korean.
@@tiag5929 That's amazing! I just clarified partly because I thought she said she also had American residency
Yodit Yohannes I love that Chloe still found away to keep one of her fathers names, and hopefully one day she’ll be able to go back to Wang
Carolina Fernández shes korean by blood and american by nationality... shes korean american
She really just said no I’m not gonna age
Of all the characters that left, I miss Christina the most♥️
At that point i stopped watching the show. It became boring. It was good desidion from her
4 me it was Sloan and Derrick. Miss them the most 💔
Jr Lara its the lil spark of happiness arizona for me ✨😭
I miss their friendship-like sister-like twins-soulmate !
Cristina-Meredith best series's friendship of all times. Want her back.
For 1 episode only, but I want see them again together talking about life and things, ending Grey's Anatomy this way.
Legend!!!! She's up there with Viola Davis and Meryl Streep in her talents. Incredible
Not a fan of Streep
Christina Yang was such an influential character for me to watch as a teenager. A fiercely loyal, intelligent, diligent and confident woman who absolutely knew her skills and her value. She always demanded more, and that was such a positive role model for me, and I’m sure so many other girls and women.
Addison once said ''in as much as it hurts to not get what you want, the people who don't know what they want, have it worse" the scene before she leaves for L. A.
I love this so much and her line about "I was practicing asking for what I wanted and I was willing to walk from it" reminds me so much of when Christina told George: "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more." Sandra was made to play the role of Christina Yang, and we are all better off for it
Vraiment
Good for her. She wasn’t going to sell herself short. I think she’s an amazing actress and deserved to play that part. No one else could’ve done it.
"I go all the way on my audition" so she IS Cristina!!!
She was the best part of Grey's, both as an actress and as the character. I kind of kept up with the storylines after she left the show, but I honestly lost all interest, I can't even remember the last episode I watched and what it was about. Everything went downhill after she quit.
fr doe
I missed her soo much when derek died. She was suppose to be there for gray
Facts
Lise Normann you need to continue watching sooooo many things happened and it became a lot better
@@c.b.7172 I have continued watching, but it doesn't interest me anymore. I used to remember what happened in the last episode/season, but now it's just "meh"..
i love the fact that she talks with her hands
“I was practicing asking for what I wanted. And I was willing to walk away from it”. Such a great invitation to shift our mindsets. I love this woman!
Sandra Oh as Dr. Bailey??? Oh My God I just can't imagine
Me too
As an actress, her words are incredibly inspiring and empowering to keep fighting for your voice and place in a ruthless, tiresome, racist industry. Years ago in a George Tonight interview she said "I don't think of myself as a celebrity" - that she's an actor, and the craft and the work comes first. Her dedication to her craft and the meaningful connection to it through whatever vessel of a show or character is proof of her purpose, and what makes Sandra Oh one of the most incredible and talented actors around. I am just totally in love with her.
Such an amazing and inspirational answer, I'm so glad she walked away and was able to get what she deserved! Is there more to this interview?
Then she created Eve Polastri...
Killing Eve
I read that with vilanelle's accent
Sandra in that pink dress was an unusual sight-
damn, i didn't expect christina's actress to be just as confident and ambitious as christina herself. she was really perfect for the role.
Her laugh brings back memories of Grey’s for me. Like when she was on, ugh I miss her!
I just re-watch it
Sandra Oh just has this chemistry she brings to the characters around her... she makes everyone around her better. 🥰
I can't keep my mind straight, she is Christina Yang not Sandra Oh hahahahaha I love her so much
I always was calling her Sandra Oh, this is almost the one actrees name i remember from Grey's
She is sandra. She is her own person who played a part on a tv show.
Yeah, she's the female John Wayne.
I'm a big fan. Grey's Anatomy will never be the same without you.
Sandra Oh is a very good actress and hopefully she gets more better roles and opportunities. She deserves more ❤️😍😉
She is currently on a show called Killing Eve if you like her and want to support her work check it out.
Omg, I literally adore Cristina, she is my favourite character. Its sad she left the series. :(
I miss Yang soooo so much. She’s perfect
You can see that se is wise and humble, and she's still learning and sharing what she learned with us. I love her💜 I wish she gets casted more in the future😊
Honestly she's my favorite character in the show 😍😍✨✨
No one can be Cristina Yang besides you.
I still feel sad that you left but at the same time, I am happy for your achievement now.
Now she’s the lead role of Killing Eve and _WOW_ i love her.
I loved her in Greys Anatomy but didn’t like the show, but now KE got me hooked on her and Jodie Comer
Love watching and listening to Sandra Oh.
She Is So Brilliant, Her Role As Christina Yang Is What Makes Me Want To Become A Surgeon. I Love You Sandra Oh 💙
I love her. Shes quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. Seeing interviews just solidifies that. 🥰🥰🥰
glad sarah auditioned to be christina can’t imagine anyone else playing her
Sandra lol
Dr. Yang needs to come and check on her friends.. especially Meredith :/ we miss her sm
I think Sandra Oh made Christina one of the best characters I don’t think anyone could have done a better job
Sandra is literally just ageless! I see her in 2005 and I see her in 2020 and she doesn’t even look a tad bit different😂😂😂😭😭😱😱😳😳
Wow what a deep message "I had to walk away cause they didn't want to give me what I asked for... and then I got the part!" Stand up for your worth and understand if its not meant to be then its not meant to be. I love this and I have always loved Sandra Oh, such a strong empowering woman.
Sarah oh I a very smart actor and person and brilliant actor and when she played as Christina she was very good actor I didn’t want her to leave we love you
It's funny how they're almost the same person as they are in the show
Literally why I rewatch the first 10 seasons over and over because of Sandra Oh!!❤️❤️💜💜
yang was one of my favourite character man, a great surgeon, great friend and great woman. sandra perfectly pulled off the role istg
I see her as cristina yang. Gosh i miss dr. Yang
“i was practicing asking for what i wanted and i was willing to walk away from it” need to adopt this lifestyle🙏🏾 - also could not see sandra as bailey, she played cristina perfectly and chandra played bailey perfectly🤍
Very well said. Sandra has such wisdom! I love how she said ask for what you want, but being okay with not getting it.
When Christina and Hunt are in the basement and the fan under her comes on, her face showed such joy that I was just in awe of her!
She's just so smart! I'm always glad when I pay her atention.
Dr. Yang needs to make an appearance. I need my Cristina back!
Thanks for this interview. I wish more celebrities would interview this in depth
I feel like I am listening to this at the *exact* right time. I am currently in the "asking for what I want" stage of my career.
i think one of the most beautiful thigns about grey's anatomy in the beginning was that it was about the people and the characters. i never thought that oh, Christina was the stereotyped chinese nemesis, just like how i didnt think about bailey being that black nurse. i loved that. what i hate with modern shows is how it now pushes into your face that the characters are black, latina, gay, etc. i would love for shows to just treat the characters as people
when she said she showed up to the audition in scrubs 🤣🤣🤣 we love DEDICATION
I only discovered this phenomenal woman a few months ago watching Grey's Anatomy. Now I see this incredible incredible conversation. I wish so much I 'd heard such power as a younger age. What an inspiration!! LOVED Cristina, so now I will be in search of her other roles!
I just love this so much, she needs to teach a whole class on this.
They picked the BEST person to play Christina. She’s so much like Christina that’s crazy!
I watched Killing Eve first, so i'm seriously in love with her. Thinking about start to watch greys just because of her
The show is great up until her character is gone. Then it's meh..those first 8 or so seasons are so good. Great sound track too.
@@KrissyMeow omg I 10000% agree, watched killing eve first now I'm binging Grey's and I'm so devastated to know all my favourite characters don't make it, I may just bail after season 10. It's been the general consensus around the internet surrounding the show.
You'll love the show do get out the kleenex 'cause you're gonna need it. It's funny, it's sad, and there are so many characters to fall in love with. So many of them gone such as Izzie now she had alot of parts to play and 'cause she asked for more money -- they did't resign her contract when it came up. Lots of starts though got ousted over money --why should men get paid way more than the women actors. Both Fonda and Lily weren't going to allow the men on their show to make more money than they did. Afterall they are all stars - and it is called "Grace and Frankie" thus an an all star cast and so all should equally be paid 1 million dollars a year! Cheers comes to mind. Shanda did good creating this story and she even has a few off cast from the show. Private Practice was one as well as the new one involving paramedics.
Whoa! Mind blown! I wasn't expecting this to inspire me as much as it did. Lately I have questioning if I need to hold true to who I am when looking for work in my field, even though it hasn't got me the job yet. I'm sticking to my gut instinct now! Thanks Sandra!
I love the words of wisdom and candor being shared on here. Thank you
Love the way she uses her hands to make points. She knows her worth. Respect.
And you being Cristina Yang is the best character I've ever met! I love you and your character! I'm proudly to say that I am your newest fan from Philippines. And OH MY GOD, I just, uh I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH and it's freakin' hurt me when you left Grey's T_T but I LOVE YOU STILL, DR. YANG!!
Yang and burke forever
@@carmelajocelyncunanan5899 Burke was abusive as well as toxic. That actor is the worst too
Faux le personnage de Burke était magnifique et pour l'acteur qui a joué Burke il ne faut jamais jugé une personne quand on ne le connais pas
Burke et Christina était le meilleur couple de la série ❤
Loved this interview. That was so inspiring. Not as an actor, but for life in general. Sending my appreciation. 🙏🏼😊❤️
There could've been no better Cristina. She's so empowering in her mindset. Super inspiring 💛
Christina Yang really made that show for me. I loved her from episode one until the day she left. Her relationship with Meredith just made the whole show worth watching. I can't imagine a single other person in this role it was perfect. I still watch it but it just never feels quite right without Yang anymore I keep hoping they bring her back xD
Same. She is my favorite
we love you sandra!!!
When I tell you I needed this. I was not expecting to get a word from the Lord but He speaks always 🙌🏽
I remember watching the pilot back in 2005... I was hooked. The cast was well chosen for the characters they portrayed.
Her character in Grey's Anatomy is what made me watch the show...After she left, I too left watching Grey's anatomy
She’s right, I do love the snarky friend but yeah, I could also see her all the time. 💜
I need to watch this every once a month to remind myself. I need to envision where I want to be before getting it. Thanks Sandra!
i adore her so much, she's a good actress
It’s just so amazing how good her story ended in the grey’s compared to others
Greys has not been the same since she left the show. We miss Cristina 💜
Thanks for sharing! 👏🏻👏🏻
Wow she is absolutely amazing and such an inspiration!!
Open your way to your dreams and making the channels to achieve it. I remember Beyonce says something like she had to create an "industry" (place) for her, cuz the "industry" was not for someone like her.
That is what Sandra did, so she is not only an excelente actress she is a legacy and someone who inspire people to follow and make your dreams true.
I love her so much and i miss her in greys :(
She was literally the heart of the show. One of the most iconic characters ever made. No one could have played Cristina Yang better than her. It's like she was born to play her.❤
She's so beautiful i wanna CRY
Big fan and love how she is Korean!
Personally I think it makes sense. Cristina being an Asian that got high marks because she worked hard and she was bitter towards someone who seemingly didn’t have to work as hard as her but still got to the same place. Her character valued perfection and expected the same of everyone; to see someone going toe to toe with her but not going through obvious struggles infuriates her
I just adore this woman!
I've loved her in her craft since Double Happiness and she just keeps getting better and better and better. 💜
I just finished watching Grey’s Anatomy season 10!!! I’m balling my eyes out!!! Why did she have to go???!! 😭😭😭😭
Please just comeback to grey's we need more of Cristina Yang!! Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sooo good! Her way of thinking can really help a lot of people feel more confident in life!!
So much respect for this woman. Such a force
Im so glad they didnt go down that nemesis route and went for the person instead. Imagining the 10 seasons being like the first half of season 10 is exhausting.
