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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We were very fortunate to have a a little time in history when LSD was still legal and were able to experiment with drugs just like we were doing with music.

I think it’s too bad that everybody’s decided to turn on drugs, I don’t think drugs are the problem.

And as far as I’m concerned, it’s like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.

We are experiencing a real confusion here in the United States, you know. Why is it OK to drink, but it’s not OK to take drugs?

It’s a joke. Greed and the desire to take drugs are two separate things.

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.

I never took hallucinogenic drugs because I never wanted my consciousness expanded one unnecessary iota.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one. It’s a drug. It distorts reality, and that’s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
