    Lucy Liu's quotes

  • Being Asian in this business is something you have to consider, because sometimes people aren't as open. They'll say, I can't see you with a Caucasian person.
  • My freckles are always there. I think the lighting blows it out. If we had to cover up the freckles, I'd be forever with a thick thing of makeup.
  • Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that's why I don't have a boyfriend.
  • It's like kill or be killed, that's my thing basically.
  • Nobody really tells me what's going on, and I find out via the trades myself.
  • I try to distinguish my characters from each other.
  • I always admired Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk - but I don't know if I'd be a very convincing hulk.
  • Japanimation is a whole different art form.
  • I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
  • Men, when they fight in movies, it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip, and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him.
  • It's just the way of this business-you just get damaged. I don't think that anyone has gotten into a fight and not gotten hurt.
  • 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.
  • Like Shanghai Noon, if you look back at the movie, I only had one kick in the whole movie, in the end. I asked for the kick!
  • Men like to see two women fighting. Men see women as a different entity altogether.
  • In Japan, there's a whole ceremony when you fight. She takes off her shoes. It's such a quiet moment, and then she bows.
  • If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English.
  • I've definitely become much more aware of physical stunts.
  • I think you just have to appreciate who you are and hopefully they can see what a superhero is about.
