Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.

Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.

There was one very special scene at the end of the film. My character, Zhao Di, has been sick. She wakes up and her mother tells her that the man she loves has come back from the city and had spent the day by her bedside.

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.

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 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.

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.
