Lucy Liu Biography

On those bitchy roles:
“I try to keep my personal life private because then I can be whatever I am supposed to be on film. People have said, 'Wow, you are such a bitch!' and I say, 'Thank you’.”

“It's so much fun playing Ling, but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets. They think I'm going to bite their heads off or something."

On herself:
“I was taught not to take anything for granted. If you are too busy being a diva or a freak, then you are not enjoying it.”

“Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that's why I don't have a boyfriend.”

“One reason I decided to pick up martial arts was because I was so sick of people saying, 'Do you know kung fu? 'Now I can say, 'Yes I do’.”

“If somebody is confrontational or rude, it makes me more confident. Its like: ‘No, you don't treat somebody that way.'"
