All quotes by Zhou Xun:

I think it's the same to be an actress anywhere because the profession is about attitudes towards events -- it is a process to try to understand life. I think this is the case for actors across the world.

Its not easy for Chinese actors to do foreign films, and its not easy for foreign actors to do Chinese films.

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

I think there are many faces to everyone. I also have my bad sides. Also I think everyone is trying to improve their shortcomings to become more wholesome.
