I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
BAI LINGI think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
BAI LINGYeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I’m not existing.
BAI LINGWhat I like about being an actress is that it keeps you feminine. Being a director and producer makes you manly and very masculine and I don’t like that quality in a woman. But I’ll do it when the film is very close to me.
BAI LINGI have a blog in Chinese, which you can follow, Chinese signs. But I don’t even update at all, often I don’t.
BAI LINGI went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.
BAI LINGBoundaries, and countries, if we don’t have that we are all brothers and sisters, we can all have love and joy and compassion for each other: the world would be much more beautiful.
BAI LINGI indulged the wild child inside of me – the one that’s not aware of danger or fear – for the purity of existence for that character in that film. Of course, behind me they’re saying, ‘She’s crazy!’
BAI LINGStorms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and I think nothing’s dark, dark is beautiful too.
BAI LINGWell I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
BAI LINGBasically, I have a gift as an actress, and I want to present the sophisticated side of me as an actress and a person.
BAI LINGI’m very private in person. I’m very sensitive and shy with men individually. But when I’m talking, maybe there’s this other channel or this other side and other way of working in my mind, and I convert and become carefree.
BAI LINGWhen you’re challenged, you’re totally alive and totally dealing with reality, particularly if it could be dangerous. And that excites me!
BAI LINGI think I’m like a free spirit.
BAI LINGWhen you don’t get what you want, it just makes you accept real life.
BAI LINGYou have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don’t want to face.
BAI LINGActing to me is real life – I don’t act.
