More quotes by Zhang Ziyi

Image
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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
Image
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
It's not that I wanted to be an actor it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
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.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
That whole environment was just incompatible with my beliefs and my personality. It was a dark time for me.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Ordinarily if an actor gets chosen for the lead in a film, he or she has already built up a repertoire, and everyone knows what he or she is capable of.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
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
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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
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
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
Image
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
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
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
A movie has its own fate, which often doesn’t depend on the performances of the director and actors.
