He wasn't just showing the games. I was getting hacking lessons from an 11-year-old. It was definitely telling of our times, but he's a smart kid and just incredible.
My private life has been the subject of much jabbering. Perhaps this slightly scandalous side of me people find entertaining!
I was also an only child and my father really wanted a son - he's from that generation - it was always about kung-fu theater on Sundays and boxing games on the weekend.
I love to draw, so I really want to go and study art. I've never done things for me. I've always done things for my career or for my family.
I've always found that it's such an emotional experience, trying to find the good parts of a bad character or the bad parts of a good character, and in the end, most of these qualities are already there inside me.
You have the energy when you're a kid to really fight for rights - that's why kids make great soldiers, right?
I took my little brother, and we went from Beijing to Ulan Bator, and then took a helicopter to the southern Gobi.Streams, grass, and sand dunes to climb. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Everybody needs to go to Mongolia just to see what it is to be a human being again.
I went to Mongolia many years ago and it was so incredible.
I've been really into boyfriend blazers, I like mixing tweeds with floral fabrics. The masculine and feminine look.
I love all the cableknits and the oversize coats.
Statistically you take thousands of photographs of your first kid, and then with your second kidyou take about half of that. And then with your third kid, you, like, pawn off your first and second kids' photographs and tell them they're theirs.
I feel like confidence is something that ebbs and flows. I was given a lot of love and attention from my family growing up, so for sure I had a natural confidence.
Girls who are dancers tend to be much better models than girls who just got picked off the street. Dance is a discipline, just like martial arts. No matter what you do, you have this sort of confidence that no one can take away from you - every time you step somewhere, you're sure of where you're going.
Self-defense is so important to know in today's society. It's not just that you might get mugged. It's more for confidence. It's the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room. Every step you take is more sure and you're much more aware of your surroundings. So, I think it's a really important thing - especially for women.
