No, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I was going to the Royal Ballet, very serious about being a ballet dancer. I was back in Hong Kong for summer holidays. And they were testing. making screen tests for some of my favorite Chinese actresses for the world of Suzy Wong in Hong Kong. So I went up to the studio to watch my favorite actress at work.

And I was standing there, and somebody says to me, you want to do a screen test? I said, no, I'm a ballet dancer. I have nothing to do with it. I'm just here watching my favorite actresses. They said, why don't you do a screen test? I said, well, what's that? They said, well, just sit in the chair. So I said, okay. So I sat in the chair, and he asked me questions, how old I am.

And every time he asked me something, I burst out laughing like an idiot. I mean, I laughed the whole way through. And then when I got home, I said to my father, I said, I don't know, but this guy wanted me to do a screen test. And I just giggled all the way. He said, well, never mind. You're a ballet dancer. Forget it. A few weeks later...
