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.

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.

If you have the right costumes you feel more confident as the character, they really help you act.

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.

The difference between me and American-born actors is that I came here with the expectation of not being treated fairly.

I don't want to tell people what I make. It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of as a kid. I never think about it.

Acting is actually private.
