More quotes by 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
I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
Zhang Ziyi
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
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
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.
Zhang Ziyi
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 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
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
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
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
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
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
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
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
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
Zhang Ziyi
Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.
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
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
