Another problem for minority actors is that we don’t often work with beautiful dialogue. And there were less chances of working with great directors … - Tsai Ching-hwa

I always tell my students that I’m teaching them to be more confident. That’s why you come to acting class. I say, “If you aim at a tall tree, you may hit a bush. If you aim at a bush, you’ll hit that floor.” I find that some actors just don’t try enough. They may not like it when I say that.

You can control the audience. You can make the audience so happy one minute, and so sad the next minute. In film, it’s up to the directors to cut it well. Sometimes an actor may not give a very good performance, but the editor does a good job.

You are only famous for ten years, unless you’re a superstar. Because another generation comes through and you’re forgotten.
