real geisha wanted
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
growing-up grows profession
My profession has helped me to grow up.
people suspects
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
thinking europe interesting
I really want to do something in Europe. With a small movie, it can be an interesting challenge. But I have to get the right project. I don't think it's so important to go to Hollywood. All that trash that comes out of there! I don't want to do that.
character thinking chinese
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.
looks mask geisha
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
thinking hollywood-films actresses
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
thinking years people
There are actors who spend 20 years working and still don't achieve what I've achieved so quickly. So I think my only course of action is to work as hard as I can, not just for the sake of the film, but also to prove to these people that I do have talent.
mother teacher kindergarten
I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
mother character men
There was one very special scene at the end of the film. My character, Zhao Di, has been sick. She wakes up and her mother tells her that the man she loves has come back from the city and had spent the day by her bedside.
love-you care if-you-love-me
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
pressure results
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
japan chinese special
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.
clothes chinese flesh
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
