Quote

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.

Wanting to be in a Western film won't get me very far. Unless the opportunity arose, it doesn't matter how much I want to be in one. But if an opportunity did arise, no actor would pass it up.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.

Image
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.

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.

Zhang Yimou is always going to need young, pretty girls for his films. But I don't really concern myself with what Zhang Yimou's next starlet looks like.

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.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Working in Hollywood, it's clear the more money you have, the more technology you can get. So you can build a whole Japanese set. Only in Hollywood!
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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.
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.

Image
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

Image
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
There are films you see that only reach your eyes. Then there are films that you can watch... that reach down to your throat, or reach your heart. In the Mood for Love, though, reached all the way to my belly.

Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
