You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don't want to face.
Sex is the best high. It's better than any drug. I want to die making love because it feels so good.
But somehow I feel like still it's a gift, and I wonder, how can I give this gift to others? Just work hard, and do whatever I can do, to be that, and to return the love to the fans. I like to give them joy and smiles to them. Give back to them.

Somehow I feel a little bit odd in Tiananmen Square because I was a soldier, in a uniform, watching those leaders and tanks, and I was part of them.
Basically, I have a gift as an actress, and I want to present the sophisticated side of me as an actress and a person.
I'm a romantic, and I like guys to bring flowers and buy some gifts - not expensive things, just romantic things.
Every woman should shave her head once in her life, to experience what it feels like.
I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
I hate shopping. I don't go shopping. If I do, I run in and out.
