What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.
I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress--I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
I'm as proud to be Chinese as I am American.
I'm not one of those actresses that's going to feel like I never achieved my dreams and goals and just get disgruntled and hate everything about the business. I've had so much fun.
I hope Hong Kong and Asia wants to hire American Asian actresses as much as Hollywood has been hiring Chinese actors from Asia. So hopefully in reverse, yes, I would love to work with Zhang Yimou and all those wonderful directors out there.
