I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang ZiyiI'm not really interested in politics, because I think it's just too removed from my own life. If there's a war, though, or a disaster, I want to know what's happening.
Zhang ZiyiA movie has its own fate, which often doesnโt depend on the performances of the director and actors.
Zhang ZiyiYes. Otherwise I could have done a lot of Hollywood movies. After Crouching Tiger I got a lot of offers, but I turned them down because they were all victim roles - poor girls sold to America to be a wife or whatever. I know I have the ability to go deeper, to take on more original roles than that.
