Superstar Diva Elisa Chan Kit-ling

People think I'm an ABC [American-born Chinese], but I grew up in Hong Kong.

The best decision I ever made was quitting school and joining the band the New Topnotes when I was 16.

Singers in the 70s were just dorky. I considered myself a band girl because it was a thousand times cooler.

Music is important to me, but no shit – so is fame and fortune.

Being famous is great. You can get a table anywhere, a discount on everything, a ticket for any show, and a reaction for everything you say.

I like performing on stage, being the center of attention. I can block out reality and drag the audience into my fantasy world... blah blah blah.
