"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 trad..." — Zhang Ziyi

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

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

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 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.
