“The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you’re happy, you’re a better person.”

Acting to me is real life – I don’t act.

Storms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and I think nothing’s dark, dark is beautiful too.

The definition of love is giving.

I think I’m like a free spirit.

I guess I feel like it’s a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it’s a small role, it’s a gift to be working that closely with them.

English is my second language, but in Hong Kong, they don’t know that I’m from China. They think I’m from Hollywood because all the films they see are from here. China and Hong Kong are very different places, but they’re starting to merge. Still the culture is very different.

Every woman should shave her head once in her life, to experience what it feels like.

Like, you can find your dream, if you firmly believe. You have to have the innocence, and you have to have the daringness to trust.

I think I’m open to adventures and surprises. As a performer, I’m really just naturally talented. And those roles may not look as good on paper, but I know how to create them on screen. I like to have fun and interpret my roles in my own way.

You have to be proud of who you are.

Because of the Chinese culture of obedience, you don’t ask questions… You follow and obey.

Wong Kar-wai and Ang Lee are two Asian directors I’m really fond of.

I’m a person that doesn’t have that many goals or plans. I feel like I’m the wind and I blow through life; it’s whatever comes to me. I very much respect nature. Whatever happens to me, I’m happy and I embrace it.

Sex is the best high. It’s better than any drug. I want to die making love because it feels so good.

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.

Boundaries, 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.
