There is no theoretical study of motherhood. You know, before I became a mother, I did play a mother, but I was like - I was more thinking of my own mother. I was doing my mother.
From Joan Chen
I never went on an audition - when they were really looking at everybody.
I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete.
My fairy-tale life ended the moment I wanted to apply for a passport.
I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.
For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.
Acting is actually private.
I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.
Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.
If you know how to do a job very well, you keep doing it.
