Acting is actually private.

The lowest budget U.S. films are ten times times better (than shooting in Tibet).

Historically and culturally the Mongol women were very strong, they contributed as much as the men to their society, their community. Other than upper body strength, I think they were equal to the men. To compensate for the lesser upper body strength they had to be smarter, they had to think more, they had to consider things more carefully.

How do you explain certain physical qualities that somehow sell on screen? You're born with it... Certain people are just more watchable, and I was more watchable, but I don't think I understood acting or drama very well when I was a kid.

Since age 14, I know what actors fear, what they like; I know how to get things out of them and I listen to them better, since I've been there.

I enjoy going back to work now because cinema is going through an exciting period because young people are now going back to the movie theaters. But things are different though.

When you feel so strongly about something and other people feel equally strongly, you have to feel stronger about it in order to succeed.
