Quote

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.

Image
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
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
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
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
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.

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
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
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 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
Image
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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

When I watch a movie for the first few times I'm usually thinking about where I was in a given scene, who was next to me, what we were doing etc. But after I've gotten through all of this, when I'm really watching the film itself, then I get moved.
