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

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

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'm not superstitious.

I think sometimes I'm more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you're always hurrying. And sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. I'm here and there.

You have to be proud of who you are.

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.
