More quotes by Zhang Ziyi
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
Zhang Ziyi
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
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

Zhang Ziyi
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.
Zhang Ziyi
Today's China is not in the least shut out from the rest of the world. Trends come to us from all over the world. And the Internet is really developed in China. We get news from all over the world.
Zhang Ziyi
That whole environment was just incompatible with my beliefs and my personality. It was a dark time for me.
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
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
Zhang Ziyi
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
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
Zhang Ziyi
I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.
Zhang Ziyi
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Zhang Ziyi
