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.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

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.

Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.

Grammar is to a writer what anatomy is to a sculptor, or the scales to a musician. You may loathe it, it may bore you, but nothing will replace it, and once mastered it will support you like a rock.

I'm really into fashion.

I think the Democrats are right to protest, but I don't think Jeff Sessions is so far out of the range of normalcy that he shouldn't be confirmed.

SEO is knowing what the search engines want and giving it to them... so hard they f***ing bleed

Fine natures are like fine poems; a glance at the first two lines suffices for a guess into the beauty that waits you if you read on.

I'm married to my best friend!

It's strange what the heart can do when the mind is giving the directions.

We all have to die, and I preferred to have just one death. It seems to me that to suffer insult without response is to die many deaths.

The key factor in my strategy is longevity.

No man can rob successfully over a period of years without pleasing the people he robs.
