- During the making of Metal Gear Solid, Guest was the second choice for the role of Mei Ling because the producers balked at hiring Guest who at the time was an inexperienced voice actress to voice such a fairly important role. The person originally favored for the role botched their final audition so badly Guest ended up getting the role, which is arguably her most famous one to date.
- One of the few cast members of Metal Gear Solid that actually played the game. She progressed as far as Revolver Ocelot before giving up.
- Upon winning the role of Mei Ling in Metal Gear Solid, Guest picked up her character's Chinese accent over the course of just three days.

- On voicing a character's death for the first time: "It was said to me that I was the first woman that they heard that effectively conveyed the process of dying that also did not sound like I was experiencing some kind of sexual pleasure."
