Michelle Yeoh

I'm terrible on the phone. I just text my friends and family and say, 'Hey, I'm in town.'

On 'Far North,' we were always aware of being at the whim of mother nature. She's the biggest star in the film.

For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they're healthy and they're happy.

Beauty shouldn't be superficial and should come from within, and your eyes will tell the story.

Every time I choose to do a movie, I make the decision because of what I think I can learn from it.

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.'

For an actress, everything is always fine - you are looked after, you have your trailer, and everything provided. But the crew are the ones out there in the wilds all the time, hours before and after us.

When I watch myself on-screen, I always look for the flaws.

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?

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.

The Asia and the Pacific region is facing an epidemic of road death and injury, but we also have innovative Asian road safety solutions.

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.
