What I like about being an actress is that it keeps you feminine. Being a director and producer makes you manly and very masculine and I don’t like that quality in a woman. But I’ll do it when the film is very close to me.

I have a blog in Chinese, which you can follow, Chinese signs. But I don’t even update at all, often I don’t.

I’m very private in person. I’m very sensitive and shy with men individually. But when I’m talking, maybe there’s this other channel or this other side and other way of working in my mind, and I convert and become carefree.

I’m not superstitious.

I had heard about how people struggle and how hard it is to get into acting. But I did not care because it’s something I love.

You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why I like acting. It’s precious to me to be able to live more than one life.

I think I’m known as an adventuress. Even generally in life, I have no fear. It’s not that I’m not afraid of things, but when I am afraid of something, I don’t back away – I approach it and try to understand what makes me afraid.

When you’re challenged, you’re totally alive and totally dealing with reality, particularly if it could be dangerous. And that excites me!

I guess I feel like it’s a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it’s a small role, it’s a gift to be working that closely with them.

I think sometimes I’m more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you’re always hurrying. And sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m here and there.
