I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.

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

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

My parents sent me to a dance class, so it was a road chosen by them, not me. But I enjoyed it so much I knew I would become a performer.

Wanting to be in a Western film won't get me very far. Unless the opportunity arose, it doesn't matter how much I want to be in one. But if an opportunity did arise, no actor would pass it up.

After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.

I always think it's really hard if you are Asian or Chinese to be really in Hollywood. There are not so many really great characters for you.
