I've played a ghost, cat, snake. I've been funny, sad. I've been filmed flying on screen. So why not spend time on something else? I don't need to accept everything I'm offered.

From Maggie Cheung

I did 75 films. I didn't take a break; I didn't spend my money. I have my savings, so when you're not working for money anymore, then you should find things that are meaningful and not just be like, 'OK, that's another day gone.'

From Maggie Cheung

I need to be doing different things all the time; it's just part of who I am.

From Maggie Cheung

I was always the hero's girlfriend or wife - actually, the woman with no voice.

From Maggie Cheung

I don't want to die thinking I've only done one thing in my life.

From Maggie Cheung

I think I started to have thoughts to really want to be serious about my work when I was about twenty-five, and I just kind of started to look into that direction and moved into it.

From Maggie Cheung

I don't really want a film as a present; you can get me a diamond ring.

From Maggie Cheung

I think it comes from far away inside me, to be strong to survive everything that comes my way. I think, going back to the beginning, feeling like an alien in an English school when I was eight, that set up my pride very early on. I think I'm very defensive, but I'm trying not to be like that anymore.

From Maggie Cheung

Because I've done so many different roles, I don't want to repeat myself. It's getting harder and harder to find something interesting. You never know - I might never make a film again.

From Maggie Cheung

People get surprised by my choices. But that comes from me looking for something new.
