Maggie Cheung's quotes

  • No matter where I'm going, I feel like I'm leaving something behind. Every time I get on a plane, I cry. The flight attendants on Cathay Pacific must think I'm mad.
  • It was heaven. We were in Los Angeles. And we could go anywhere. No one had any idea who I was.
  • Even though we can say the European or North American market is bigger, no, for me, I want Hong Kong to be my main market. They want to own me and I want to own them. It's out of willingness.
  • Because I've done so many different roles, I don't want to repeat myself. It's getting harder and harder to find something interesting.
