There's still a bit of a problem, in that so many leading English roles are taken by American or French actresses.

The sad truth for American actors is that they really have no control whatsoever over the material that they get, or can do, particularly actresses. And if you're over 40 and you're an actress, forget it.

I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.

I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.

Being an actress in China, I'm actually a very lucky actress... Especially now that Chinese movies are becoming more diverse with more viewers overseas.

I do always feel very proud and flattered by being asked to be a part of American productions playing American characters.

Unlike films, which can be easily disseminated worldwide via DVDs and the Internet, plays struggle to find an international audience.

American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except a bit more boring.

Every audience has its character; I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.
