America and China need to understand each other.

For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.

Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.

I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete.

All teenagers have this desire to somehow run away.

How I was raised is what I am today.

I love any opportunity to be able to dance. It's in my blood. I mean, I need to do it as an artist. I need to always do it.
