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.

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

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.

The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you're happy, you're a better person.

I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.

I'm not superstitious.

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