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

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin.

For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.

There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.

I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.

The atmosphere at my school was very competitive. Young girls were competing with each other every day for status, for leadership, for the affection of the teachers. I hated it.

I'm not really interested in politics, because I think it's just too removed from my own life. If there's a war, though, or a disaster, I want to know what's happening.

Actually I ran away from school when I was 13. No one could find me, and the police were called. I was just hiding in a little thicket of grass at my school, and went to sleep.

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.

Most men, if you just tell them what to do in a businesslike fashion, will follow directions without thinking about it. One proceeds on the assumption that they'll do as they're told, and they do.

When you network you develop a list of resources that you can share with others. This increases your value to those prospects and clients you deal with.

It may be a movement towards becoming like little children to admit that we are generally nothing else.

With the Ford Foundation grant all of a sudden instead of being an artist that had made a couple of short films, I became a filmmaker who dabbled in the arts.

My perspective is that you should be IN the world, but not OF the world.

If the enemies of the SA are hoping that the SA will not return from leave, we are ready to let them enjoy the hope for a short time.

Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.

When the light powerfully shines upon us, the darkness cannot dare to touch us!

We are the women men warned us about.

Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
