When I watch a movie for the first few times I'm usually thinking about where I was in a given scene, who was next to me, what we were doing etc. But after I've gotten through all of this, when I'm really watching the film itself, then I get moved.

Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.

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

When two people first meet, they can only have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when you begin to understand each other, when you get close to them, you discover that you're suddenly eager to know him or her even better.

In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin.
