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 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
Image
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends.
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
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
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
Image
I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
Zhang Ziyi
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
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
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Zhang Ziyi
Image
From beginning to end I worried that Ang Lee wouldn't be satisfied with my work. So I worked as hard as I could to earn his trust, because you only get a chance like this once.
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
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
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
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
For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.
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.
