I knew nothing about martial arts. And I don't really like it! But in the film, I not only had to pretend that I knew all about it, I had to be the best at it. That was very difficult.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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.
Zhang Ziyi

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.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.

Image
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.

From beginning to end I worried that Ang Lee wouldn't be satisfied with my work. So I worked as hard as I could to earn his trust, because you only get a chance like this once.

That whole environment was just incompatible with my beliefs and my personality. It was a dark time for me.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
When two people first meet, they can only have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when you begin to understand each other, when you get close to them, you discover that you're suddenly eager to know him or her even better.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I enjoy being an actress a lot, because I can feel different women's lives. I have the chance to feel like a geisha one day, and on another day maybe a scientist. That's the interesting part for me. My profession has helped me to grow up.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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.
