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

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.

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.

For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.

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.

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.
