Cheung: Well, supposedly it was a Hu Shao Shing project for the end of the year, but the latest I've heard is that he puts the project on hold. Q: Are you going to make any pictures with your husband in the near future? Cheung: Well, there are no plans, and it won't be the next film that he is going to make because he has just finished writing the script. I mean, it's not something I feel that we need to do to build our relationship or whatever, we are very happy just being husband and wife for now. But then because he's a director and I'm an actress I don't block out the possibility of ever working with him again, but it's not like something that we have to do. Features: In the Mood for Love Official Site Profiles Cheung: Not yet, but I'm open to anything. Q: You've been working with so many directors. Who is your favorite one? Cheung: Kar-wai. I think we've come a long way. I was in his first film. he's like part of my family for me. When you're on the set and you feel really comfortable with the presence of the people, I think that's really important for me, because I'm kind of shy with strangers. And it takes me a while to build up a relationship with somebody, and with him it's been 12, 13 years, so I'm very comfortable working with him. Q: Do you think there are any challenges that Asian actors and actresses face in trying to make it in Hollywood, whether they are Asian Americans or Hong Kong actors trying to come to the United States and be popular? Cheung: Well, yes and no, depending on who. But I think so far, I mean it might improve, but so far it still seems to be quite limited on what Hollywood has to offer for Asian actors. Either it's an action film, so you have no problem with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, they already have their space in the industry. But for other actors, it can limit what they play, because somehow I think American films still need to explain why there's a foreign face in the movie, why you are not white, it still needs some explanations for the part. Q: How about Steven Spielberg's project? Cheung: Well, I don't think that is happening yet, and I'm not sure if it's going to happen. He has two other projects to do before he thinks about it, so it's not on my list of things to do for now. Q: Thank you very much. Cheung: Thank you. ### END ### --------------------
