thinking free-spirit spirit
I think I'm like a free spirit.
fate thinking risk
I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
thinking firsts film
Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
beautiful dark thinking
Storms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and I think nothing's dark, dark is beautiful too.
fun adventure thinking
I think I'm open to adventures and surprises. As a performer, I'm really just naturally talented. And those roles may not look as good on paper, but I know how to create them on screen. I like to have fun and interpret my roles in my own way.
thinking different culture
English is my second language, but in Hong Kong, they don't know that I'm from China. They think I'm from Hollywood because all the films they see are from here. China and Hong Kong are very different places, but they're starting to merge. Still the culture is very different.
character thinking up-early
I think sometimes I'm more fond of doing the research for the character because you learn so much. Sometimes shooting is really difficult because you wake up early and you're always hurrying. And sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. I'm here and there.
thinking trying no-fear
I think I'm known as an adventuress. Even generally in life, I have no fear. It's not that I'm not afraid of things, but when I am afraid of something, I don't back away - I approach it and try to understand what makes me afraid.
mean names white
Yeah, well my name is Bai Ling. That means white spirit, and I really feel like sometimes I'm not existing.

I have a blog in Chinese, which you can follow, Chinese signs. But I don't even update at all, often I don't.
running hate shopping
I hate shopping. I don't go shopping. If I do, I run in and out.
sides actresses want
Basically, I have a gift as an actress, and I want to present the sophisticated side of me as an actress and a person.
real real-life acting
Acting to me is real life - I don't act.
real want accepting
When you don't get what you want, it just makes you accept real life.
