When I started in film, I was living and working in Asia, and when we did films there, it was so fast. It was much like TV.

More quotes by Maggie Q
I was basically a broke student, and I moved to Asia and was making some money to go back to school. One thing led to another, and I was supposed to stay two months, but it ended up being eight years. It was the best mistake I ever made.
Maggie Q
I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won't do.
Maggie Q
I went back to China and did a movie in Mandarin, and I don't speak Mandarin, so I learned it phonetically. Now, when I'm on set and somebody gives me English lines, I'm like, Are you kidding? What's happening? This is amazing!
Maggie Q
The 1970s 'Wonder Woman' was sort of a kitsch thing. It was a very specific time for that, and it's hard to modernize something like that.
Maggie Q
When I was young, I remember having a particular pain about injustice. Suffering hurt me.
Maggie Q
J.J. Abrams is a director with no ego. He is a director who has a very consistent attitude when he's at work. He's funny, he's brilliant, he's a combination of all these really great things. J.J. is the kind of person who sees the bigger picture before anybody else does. It sounds simple but not all directors do that.
Maggie Q
Our choices are going to determine the future for our children, our children’s children, and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.
Maggie Q
I'd left Hawaii twice in my life, so I'd been on an island my whole life. I had no clue. I didn't know how to live in a city.
Maggie Q
When people go through tragic circumstances, it's not that there is no love there, but it's so hard to deal with and sometimes the gap starts to happen.
Maggie Q
It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies, and I'm very lucky, and I'm not complaining. But in movies, alongside big action men, we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine.
Maggie Q
We've all, at some point in our lives, been in a position where we have felt powerless.
Maggie Q
There is nothing cooler than having lines like, 'Batman, the fate of the world is upon us.' Who gets to say that? And who gets to say that in a deep, earnest, amazingly sexy way?
Maggie Q
I'm just totally into being strong. There's something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog's bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There's comfort in that.
Maggie Q
I weirdly feel very natural, in the physicality that comes my way, whether it's guns, cars or whatever. For some reason, it's second nature to me.
Maggie Q
You should see me during an action film. I look like an abuse victim.
Maggie Q
The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry, meat-eating, growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet - not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what’s No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation, and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don’t eat hamburgers.
Maggie Q
We rarely grow when we're happy, we grow when we hurt.
Maggie Q
I know young people are all going to have different passions, but I would say that if you happen to have a heart for animals, never forget that without your voice, there is no channel for them.
Maggie Q
When you come to America, it's a very serious thing. It's not like you arrive and they say, 'Hey, come on! Do movies!' I can't just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don't, I could lose it like that.
Maggie Q
I love film, very, very much, and I always want to go back to it.
Maggie Q
