More quotes by 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 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
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
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 suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
Zhang Ziyi
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
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
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 want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang Ziyi
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
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
Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.
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
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
That whole environment was just incompatible with my beliefs and my personality. It was a dark time for me.
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
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
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
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
Zhang Ziyi
I enjoy being an actress a lot, because I can feel different women's lives. I have the chance to feel like a geisha one day, and on another day maybe a scientist. That's the interesting part for me. My profession has helped me to grow up.
