time thinking cinema
China's cinema has been rising for some time; it has more exposure, so my chances of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S.
success blood tears
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.
opportunity actors want
Wanting to be in a Western film won't get me very far. Unless the opportunity arose, it doesn't matter how much I want to be in one. But if an opportunity did arise, no actor would pass it up.
movie girl america
Yes. 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.
eye heart way
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.
jobs opportunity aerospace
Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.
acting suits found
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
mom mother giving-up
I wanted to escape so badly. But of course I knew I couldn't just give up and leave school. It was only when I heard my mom's voice that I came out of my hiding place.
girl needs looks
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.
dancer chinese want
It's not that I wanted to be an actor; it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group.
technology hollywood more-money
Working in Hollywood, it's clear the more money you have, the more technology you can get. So you can build a whole Japanese set. Only in Hollywood!
dance art mean
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts, like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments,.
class parent chosen
My parents sent me to a dance class, so it was a road chosen by them, not me. But I enjoyed it so much I knew I would become a performer.
simplicity complicated dressings
I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.
