In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

Sometimes I'd like to play the bad guy and sometimes I'd like to die in a movie.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

I've been preparing [Chinese Zodiac] for seven years, spent seven years on writing the script, spent over a year on filming it.

Actually, the few good Chinese movies that foreign countries choose to import are Zhang Yimou's, and mine, a few directors, but how many movies can we make in a year? We can only make a few, while they turn them out continuously.

I allowed myself to be bullied because I was scared and didn't know how to defend myself. I was bullied until I prevented a new student from being bullied. By standing up for him, I learned to stand up for myself.

Since the child knew his parents would give in, he tried the same trick again and again.
