Actress

I'm terrible on the phone. I just text my friends and family and say, 'Hey, I'm in town.'

For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they're healthy and they're happy.

The Asia and the Pacific region is facing an epidemic of road death and injury, but we also have innovative Asian road safety solutions.

Why do we have 'Transformers 5 or 6?' Because young kids will go and see it four or five times.

Martial arts is something you can learn or pick up and think you could do really well.

We all learn every day, and that's the magic about film making.

I did ballet, piano and all that - my brother did martial arts, my passion.

I had an amazing teacher, who was Burmese, and she was living in Paris at the time, and she is one of very few who doesn't actually receive a credit in the film because she still has family over there.

In a movie, that's the only time when you're allowed these kind of fantasies to be lived. Being able to look so cool and be able to fight five bad guys and take them down. When can you do that?

Sometimes when I'm on the phone, someone will say, 'Yes, Mr. Yeoh.' And I'm thinking, 'I'm not Mr. Yeoh, man.'

There might never be another 'Crouching Tiger.' There might be something that's even better than 'Crouching Tiger.'

I want to be there for all those who are left behind in this world, whether it's because they are born poor, born a woman, or born in an area affected by devastation.

Beauty shouldn't be superficial and should come from within, and your eyes will tell the story.

If I only get to play Malaysian roles, there wouldn't be very many roles for me to play.

I gravitate towards roles where women find strength in very difficult, uncompromising situations but maintain clarity in mind, discipline at heart, and a certain strength in spirit.

Raising awareness for Nepal was and still is an important role for me.

India is a great talent pool of actors. I see Freida Pinto making it big in Hollywood, and I am sure many others can also make it.

When men have a smile on their faces, that does a lot for me.

With an award like the Asian Film Awards, we've sent a message saying that 'Asian Cinema is here, it matters, and more importantly, we are all part of the same fraternity!' The AFA is truly, then, an award for Asia, by Asia.

On 'Far North,' we were always aware of being at the whim of mother nature. She's the biggest star in the film.
