The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.

Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

I am almost a vegetarian, and I meditate, do yoga and love to hike.

My best creation is my children.

When I was a little girl, if I didn't eat my soup, my mother would say, 'You have to think of all the Chinese children who have nothing to eat.' But now, for my children, Chinese people make everything, and for my grandchildren, they buy everything.

I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.

The older I get, the more impressed I am with women. I have yet to meet a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
