At that time, she didn’t have much ambition for her acting career, because of the kind of roles she was offered.

Additional quotes by Maggie Cheung

I have nothing against commercial films, but if you’re in a movie, [and] you feel the script and everything else about it has no meaning – it’s just another production that the boss can add to his list – I don’t think you should do it.
