I have a blog in Chinese, which you can follow, Chinese signs. But I don't even update at all, often I don't.

Acting to me is real life - I don't act.

I 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.

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

Yeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I'm not existing.

When you're challenged, you're totally alive and totally dealing with reality, particularly if it could be dangerous. And that excites me!

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.
