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.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
I think that learning Burmese has to have been one of the most challenging things that I have had to do for a movie.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
As an actor, you are always looking for roles that will challenge you, and when I came upon Aung San Suu Kyi, it wasn't just about that but also about stepping into the shoes of someone who means so much to millions of people.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
'The Lady' is an incredible love story about how a family was cut off from each other, about sacrifice, about the ability to put the needs of million of people before your own.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
It's very important that I'm approaching a character that I've either not played before, or I can give it a different take.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
If you were ever a ballerina, you know the pain: just to be able to look like it's all so light, but when they take off their shoes, it's all bloody.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
I have very supportive parents who said, 'Go and do what you want to do. Home is always here for you, and if you don't like it out there, come back. You can always do something different.' So when you have an option like that, you are able to choose roles or choose the things you want to be in.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
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.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
When you face up to bad things in the past, the most important thing is not to allow them to happen today or in the future, and as storytellers, we must play our part in that.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
In Europe and America, you never see a director pick up a camera. They all sit behind monitors.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Every time I choose to do a movie, I make the decision because of what I think I can learn from it.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Today, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Unfortunately, many parents reject helmets for their kids out of a mistaken perception that helmets are unsafe for children.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
When someone acknowledges you for something that they think about you, it's a huge compliment.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
I love my martial arts and action movies. They give another dimension to the acting world: the emotional plus the physical.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
When you're a teenager, you could do a lot more crazy things, and your body recovers faster.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
I did ballet, piano and all that - my brother did martial arts, my passion.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
In one take, I had to do 24 combat sequences, which is hard. It makes you think, 'I'd better get on my toes again.'
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
They won't take you seriously because you are a girl. These guys had to understand that you are just as tough as them, and you have to take them on.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Playing Aung San Suu Kyi was a journey in itself. She represents many things for many people and for many reasons. Although I have played many important roles in my life, I can say that this role has been a journey of self-realisation.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
There might never be another 'Crouching Tiger.' There might be something that's even better than 'Crouching Tiger.'
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Some of the martial arts films, the motivation is about martial arts. That's where it's coming from. It is a visual, commercial film, to showcase the next stunt, the biggest thing. And character development becomes a side thing.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Martial arts is something you can learn or pick up and think you could do really well.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
San Suu's story will always involve politics, but the essence is the love story.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Before you get into the mind, you have to inhabit the physicality. Body language is a great way of speaking.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
It's so important for me to do my own stunts. The sense of achievement is so immense. But the studios don't want to take the risk.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
On 'Far North,' we were always aware of being at the whim of mother nature. She's the biggest star in the film.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
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?
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
I'm terrible on the phone. I just text my friends and family and say, 'Hey, I'm in town.'
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
As an actress, you know there are limitations on what you can do creatively.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
You never know whether the subject matter will click with the audience at that particular time. I wish there was a formula, you know, 'That plus that equals success.'
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
Every time you do a movie, it's important for your career, your reputation.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
'Crouching Tiger,' of course, was a very dramatic role for me, and the fighting was very serious.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
The Asia and the Pacific region is facing an epidemic of road death and injury, but we also have innovative Asian road safety solutions.
Quote by -Michelle Yeoh
There is no guaranteed formula. And that's one of the interesting things about filmmaking. You could put $115 million in, and it doesn't guarantee success.
