The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you're happy, you're a better person.
Bai Ling -
Yeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I'm not existing.

I had heard about how people struggle and how hard it is to get into acting. But I did not care because it's something I love.
Bai Ling -
I hate shopping. I don't go shopping. If I do, I run in and out.
Bai Ling -
I was in Asia and people asked me about being considered sex symbol. I don't know if that's good or not, because where I come from, sex isn't something you're allowed to talk about.
Bai Ling -
I'm not superstitious.
Bai Ling -
I guess I feel like it's a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it's a small role, it's a gift to be working that closely with them.
Bai Ling -
I think sometimes I'm more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you're always hurrying. And sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. I'm here and there.

I'm one of the best actresses. One day I will win an Oscar.
Bai Ling -
Because of the Chinese culture of obedience, you don't ask questions... You follow and obey.
Bai Ling -
I indulged the wild child inside of me - the one that's not aware of danger or fear - for the purity of existence for that character in that film. Of course, behind me they're saying, 'She's crazy!'
Bai Ling -
Sex is the best high. It's better than any drug. I want to die making love because it feels so good.
Bai Ling -
I think I'm known as an adventuress. Even generally in life, I have no fear. It's not that I'm not afraid of things, but when I am afraid of something, I don't back away - I approach it and try to understand what makes me afraid.
Bai Ling -
Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
Bai Ling
-
When you're challenged, you're totally alive and totally dealing with reality, particularly if it could be dangerous. And that excites me!
Bai Ling -
You never know what's going to happen. That's why I like acting. It's precious to me to be able to live more than one life.
Bai Ling -
I think I'm open to adventures and surprises. As a performer, I'm really just naturally talented. And those roles may not look as good on paper, but I know how to create them on screen. I like to have fun and interpret my roles in my own way.
Bai Ling -
What I like about being an actress is that it keeps you feminine. Being a director and producer makes you manly and very masculine and I don't like that quality in a woman. But I'll do it when the film is very close to me.
