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.

More quotes by 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
Working in Hollywood, it's clear the more money you have, the more technology you can get. So you can build a whole Japanese set. Only in Hollywood!
Zhang Ziyi
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
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
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.
Zhang Ziyi
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
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 become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
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.
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
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
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
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
Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.
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
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
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 want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang Ziyi
From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.
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
