affect brother chinese cooking dad life looking men traditions women
'Wild Swans' showed me there are Chinese traditions that still affect my life. For example, it's not that women are inferior, exactly, but my dad and my brother are the most important men in my life and I would do anything for them. I feel like I should be the one cooking and looking after them.
bring ethnicity fact girls interest jealous love messages people understand
I couldn't understand why people were so angry. A lot of the messages were from jealous girls who didn't like the fact that I play Harry's love interest in the film and some of them did bring my ethnicity into it.

I can't believe I'm here. It's inevitable that a few girls are going to be jealous, but everyone in the crowd has been lovely to me.

phoenix actors
I like Joaquin Phoenix. He's an amazing actor and he's so buff.
dad home scotland
I was born in Scotland and have lived there all my life. I speak conversational Cantonese with my dad when I'm at home, and very basic Mandarin.
limelight type enjoy
I'm not the type of person who enjoys the limelight.
failing
I'm single and looking and failing miserably. I'm keeping my options open.
talking awkward interviews
I'm very quiet. I can go a whole week without talking, so doing interviews is really awkward for me!
running character want
One of the things I liked about my character in 'Run' is that she can just disappear into the background if she wants, which is what I'm like.
believe theatre acting
I love theatre. It's far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there's a collective sigh from the audience, or it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn't believe how easy acting was when there's an audience; after a few previews I almost couldn't do it without one.
