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

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.

I am a professional actress, and that is what I do. I learn about a character, and then I play that character.

There are films you see that only reach your eyes. Then there are films that you can watch... that reach down to your throat, or reach your heart. 'In the Mood for Love,' though, reached all the way to my belly.

Zhang Yimou is always going to need young, pretty girls for his films. But I don't really concern myself with what Zhang Yimou's next starlet looks like.

After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
