For me everything in the film was gradually building, becoming more emotional, so it helped. At the end of it all I was emotionally drained. At that point I took Rose's view, that this has to happen, there's nothing I can do about it.

By knowing your character so well you can't go wrong. All of us kind of fell into that.

Hong Kong girls have a genius sense of style. I came back to the States thinking no one here has any individuality. Or cute enough socks.

I fully credit my family for keeping me grounded and for putting me back in line whenever necessary.
