They're not willing to admit that I've also shed blood and tears and often paid dearly for my success. This makes me feel extremely sad.

I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

I really want to do something in Europe. With a small movie, it can be an interesting challenge. But I have to get the right project. I don't think it's so important to go to Hollywood. All that trash that comes out of there! I don't want to do that.

There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

China's cinema has been rising for some time; it has more exposure, so my chances of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S.

A movie has its own fate, which often doesn’t depend on the performances of the director and actors.

I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
