Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.

Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.

I enjoy being an actress a lot, because I can feel different women's lives. I have the chance to feel like a geisha one day, and on another day maybe a scientist. That's the interesting part for me. My profession has helped me to grow up.

It's not that I wanted to be an actor; it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group.

I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.

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.

I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.
