I often feel like I have this spirit living inside of me, always dressing in like short mini skirts... but then I start to discover myself. So there are eight spirits, mischievous ones, sad ones, handsome ones, wise ones, and crazy ones.

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

I went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.

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.

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

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 guess I feel like it's a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it's a small role, it's a gift to be working that closely with them.
