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.

More quotes by Zhang Ziyi
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
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
Zhang Ziyi
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
Zhang Ziyi
Obviously I'd love to work with any of these great directors because every time I've worked with them I've gained a tremendous amount as an actor. Each director has his own way of pushing you towards improving yourself.
Zhang Ziyi
People who trust me will not be swayed by what's been said about me, and for people who don't, no amount of good reports will persuade them.
Zhang Ziyi
There are actors who spend 20 years working and still don't achieve what I've achieved so quickly. So I think my only course of action is to work as hard as I can, not just for the sake of the film, but also to prove to these people that I do have talent.
Zhang Ziyi
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
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
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
I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang Ziyi
There was one very special scene at the end of the film. My character, Zhao Di, has been sick. She wakes up and her mother tells her that the man she loves has come back from the city and had spent the day by her bedside.
Zhang Ziyi
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.
Zhang Ziyi
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.
Zhang Ziyi
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.
Zhang Ziyi
My parents sent me to a dance class, so it was a road chosen by them, not me. But I enjoyed it so much I knew I would become a performer.
Zhang Ziyi
Yes. Otherwise I could have done a lot of Hollywood movies. After Crouching Tiger I got a lot of offers, but I turned them down because they were all victim roles - poor girls sold to America to be a wife or whatever. I know I have the ability to go deeper, to take on more original roles than that.
Zhang Ziyi
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
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
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Zhang Ziyi
