More quotes by 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
China's cinema has been rising for some time it has more exposure, so my chances of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S.
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
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
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
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
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 don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
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
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
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
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
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
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
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
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
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
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
