BAI LINGI had heard about how people struggle and how hard it is to get into acting. But I did not care because it’s something I love.
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 LINGEvery woman should shave her head once in her life, to experience what it feels like.
BAI LINGActing to me is real life – I don’t act.
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 LINGI think I’m like a free spirit.
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 LINGJohnny Depp is one of my favorite actors because he takes chances.
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 LINGThe definition of love is giving.
BAI LINGI’m a romantic, and I like guys to bring flowers and buy some gifts – not expensive things, just romantic things.
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.
BAI LINGWell I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
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 LINGAnd also, I know I have this responsibility or mission to show people, to encourage them to live their dream, too.
BAI LINGEnglish 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.
