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
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
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
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
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
Image
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.

Image
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
Image
A movie has its own fate, which often doesn’t depend on the performances of the director and actors.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
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
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
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.
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 was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
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
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 wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
