“I think I’m known as an adventuress. Even generally in life, I have no fear. It’s not that I’m not afraid of things, but when I am afraid of something, I don’t back away – I approach it and try to understand what makes me afraid.”

I also like to follow nature’s rhythm. In times or places, they have their own rhythm. So you cannot push it. So we must accept that as well. Wherever we’re born at this time, we just live it.

I hate shopping. I don’t go shopping. If I do, I run in and out.

I’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.

Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors because he takes chances.

And also, I know I have this responsibility or mission to show people, to encourage them to live their dream, too.

Basically, I have a gift as an actress, and I want to present the sophisticated side of me as an actress and a person.

I’m one of the best actresses. One day I will win an Oscar.

You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don’t want to face.

You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why I like acting. It’s precious to me to be able to live more than one life.

I think sometimes I’m more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you’re always hurrying. And sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m here and there.

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.

It is not usually possible in a poem or a story to make the relationship between particular and universal fully explicit. Those who try to do so end up writing parables.

I find myself more and more relying for a solution of our problems on the invisible hand which I tried to eject from economic thinking twenty years ago.

You’ve got to try to find some type of mental edge on your opponent.

I have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor.

Perhaps the only misplaced curiosity is that which persists in trying to find out here, on this side of death, what lies beyond the grave.

My ideal world is, we’re there, we’re in the EU, trying to make it better.

To my inner child, I promise I am trying my best to heal from everything that hurt you. I promise I am trying to become the person you need me to be so we can both be whole.

The trap for an actor is that you become too successful at what you’re trying to do, and you can find yourself stuck there.
