I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

Whatever you see - any good results - are all from the pressure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.

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.

Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.

Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.

For myself I don't like the geisha look. It's like a mask.

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.

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.

I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.

I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.

I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.

My profession has helped me to grow up.

There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

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!

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

I'm working on just finding a boyfriend right now.

As a little kid I had a girlfriend, and her boyfriend used to beat me up, so then I used to sing these songs, and that's what it's all about. Country music is all about your heart and your people and things like that.

I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.

The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing.

My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.

I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

The guys in my band are great-we watch movies, we eat pizza, take walks, read books. Everybody has a really great sense of humor. And my boyfriend comes and visits me on the road.

The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine.

A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend - and he's a priest.

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

I think there's something incredibly sexy about a woman wearing her boyfriend's T-shirt and underwear.

I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I love being with my family, my friends, and my boyfriend.

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.

Otherwise, I spend a lot of time at my boyfriend's home in the country, in New Jersey.

Every time we had a raid, I'd get a boyfriend out of it.

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.

He might be my boyfriend. He might not be my boyfriend.

My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.

My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sex - ever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.

You could be going to have supper with someone who happens to be male, and all of a sudden he is your boyfriend of nine months... and I am cheating on my existing boyfriend.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating.

My boyfriend thinks I lost my true calling to be a librarian.

I get a lot of mail from men who really identify with Stuart, you know, Sparrow's boyfriend. I love that. Even though I used to say I wanted men to read the strip even though there weren't any men in it, so they'd be forced to identify with the women.
