I indulged the wild child inside of me - the one that's not aware of danger or fear - for the purity of existence for that character in that film. Of course, behind me they're saying, 'She's crazy!'

And also, I know I have this responsibility or mission to show people, to encourage them to live their dream, too.

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 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.

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.

You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don't want to face.
