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

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

I think I'm known as an adventuress. Even generally in life, I have no fear. It's not that I'm not afraid of things, but when I am afraid of something, I don't back away - I approach it and try to understand what makes me afraid.

I'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.

Storms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and I think nothing's dark, dark is beautiful 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.

Wong Kar-wai and Ang Lee are two Asian directors I'm really fond of.
