For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they're healthy and they're happy.

This world belongs to all of us, and all sexes should be able to live in respect and harmony.

Before you get into the mind, you have to inhabit the physicality. Body language is a great way of speaking.

When you face up to bad things in the past, the most important thing is not to allow them to happen today or in the future, and as storytellers, we must play our part in that.

Let's empower men and help them take a stand to stop acts of violence against women.

When men have a smile on their faces, that does a lot for me.

If you read a lot of Chinese literature, there has always been very strong women figures - warriors, swordswomen - who defended honor and loyalty with the men. So, it's not new to our culture - it's always been very much a part of it. It's good that now the Western audience would have a different image of the Chinese women.

I have very supportive parents who said, 'Go and do what you want to do. Home is always here for you, and if you don't like it out there, come back. You can always do something different.' So when you have an option like that, you are able to choose roles or choose the things you want to be in.

Beauty shouldn't be superficial and should come from within, and your eyes will tell the story.
