Quotes

[how she got involved in Asian cinema] My career began after a backpacking trip from Europe to Asia. I ended up in Thailand and fell in love with the people and their culture. I got my start modeling before moving into film and television by doing some commercials. There wasn't that much going on film-wise in Thailand at the time so I decided to move to Hong Kong where I felt I had a better chance of getting more work. It was a hard path. I was determined to break into action films but I didn't have a martial arts background or any kind of athletic training. I simply walked into all of the big studios with my picture looking for work. Once I worked as an actress in Hong Kong I understood how important martial arts was to the film business there. I fell in love with martial arts fighting and so I began to spend all of my time training and learning everything I could about stunts and fighting.
