I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.

I am Chinese - it doesn't matter what other people say.

Chinese people age overnight.

Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

I mention my age because I find people in this country - women, not men, of course - women are so troubled by their age. There's a culture of youth, and it's a phony culture.

In Europe, we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.

I think ageing demographics is a bigger issue in China than people think. And the problems it creates should be become evident as early as 2016.

But I think it's a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.

I am an eighth Chinese, and I come from a large Chinese-American family in Los Angeles.
