Because of the Chinese culture of obedience, you don't ask questions... You follow and obey.

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

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

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.

What 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.

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

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.
