When you don’t get what you want, it just makes you accept real life.
BAI LINGWhen you don’t get what you want, it just makes you accept real life.
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 LINGSex is the best high. It’s better than any drug. I want to die making love because it feels so good.
BAI LINGI often feel like I have this spirit living inside of me, always dressing in like short mini skirts… but then I start to discover myself. So there are eight spirits, mischievous ones, sad ones, handsome ones, wise ones, and crazy ones.
BAI LINGI 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.
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 LINGWong Kar-wai and Ang Lee are two Asian directors I’m really fond of.
BAI LINGThe definition of love is giving.
BAI LINGI’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.
BAI LINGI 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.
BAI LINGI 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.
BAI LINGI was in Asia and people asked me about being considered sex symbol. I don’t know if that’s good or not, because where I come from, sex isn’t something you’re allowed to talk about.
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 LINGWell I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
BAI LINGYou 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.
