I was asked by the director Wong Kar-Wai to be in his new film. It didn`t seem like I would be the most obvious person for him to ask, but for some reason he did, and for some reason I dove in head first before I knew anything about the project. I watched...
Norah Jones
Wong Kar Wai is a very intense character, very personable, and I believe in general he does not like and he would not want his actors to show their true looks and their true personality on screen. (on working with Kar Wai Wong).

I like not knowing from one day to the next. It keeps me from thinking and allows me to just be in my character. Too much information restricts your creativity. [on working with Wong Kar-wai who doesn`t use scripts.]
Tony Wai
Kar-wai is very demanding, and we never have a real script. [But he] challenges me. He is always pushing me to go deeper, to become that person. I like it. (on Wong Kar Wai, while working on 2046)

These two men, how they like their women to be is so different. The way Wong [Karwai]sees beauty, or women related to beauty, it has to be that sensual, perfect thing, whereas Olivier [Assayas] is more interested in something more internal and modern. But...
Maggie Cheung
It was so hard working for him, but I like the challenge. We don`t learn the script, every day we had to, erm ... improvise. [on working with Wong Kar-wai in `2046`]

I always wanted to be Anna May Wong. She seemed so much more exotic and exciting than plain ordinary folk. But no-go. I wasn`t fated to be Wong, just white.

I was glamorous because of magicians like George Folsey, James Wong Howe, Oliver Marsh, Ray June, and all those other great cinematographers. I trusted those men and the other experts who made us beautiful. The rest of it I didn`t give a damn about. I did...

There`s a possibility that I might work with Wong Kar-wai next year. I`ve heard that he has a Japanese novel that he wants to turn into a film.
Zhang Ziyi
[Wong suggested Charles Bukowski as a role model.] I didn’t ask him why, ... But I knew it would not be easy, because the original Mr. Chow was still inside me. I got used to his body language, his tempo, his gestures, his voice. Now, with the same cost...

[Andrea Wong, ABC`s alternative-programming chief, says there will be nine celebrity competitors.] It was a challenge to convince (stars) to take a risk for the first season, ... It has certainly gotten easier.
