Ziyi Zhang

“Yes, I'm a small girl. But I'm very tough.”

“In Hollywood, you still have to be yourself. You can't just be the 'Asian girl.'”

“I always want to challenge myself. I never want to be in a comfortable position.”

“I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger.”

“I'm not trying to be a star. I'm just trying to be a good actress.”

“I want to be a real actress, and I want to be respected for what I do.”

“For me, the most important thing is to be a good person.”

“When I was young, I never thought I would be an actress. I was a dancer, and that's what I wanted to be.”

“I think luck is very important. I think you have to be in the right place at the right time.”

“Life is a journey, and you have to enjoy the ride.”

“I'm a very private person. I don't like to talk about my personal life.”

“I've learned a lot about myself, and I've learned a lot about the world.”
