Lucy Liu
Playing such noteworthy roles as a nunchaku-wielding investigator in Charlie’s Angels, the razor-taloned attorney Ling on Ally McBeal, and an S&M-loving enforcer in Payback. She will appear in the September spy-action release Ecks Vs. Sever, and is currently working on Quentin Tarantino’s chick-revenge epic, Kill Bill.
Lucy boo!
“I think a lot of men are scared of me because of some of the roles they’ve seen me portray. I mean, I’ve played a dominatrix a lot. [laughs] But it’s kind of a good scary. Men like to be scared around me. They want and expect me to be the aggressor, and they don’t realize that I’m the opposite of that in reality. I’m actually very shy.”
Biding her time:
“In a relationship I do want the man to be the aggressor. I like to be the girl, you know? I’m not going to make the first move, and if he’s waiting around for that, then it’s literally never going to happen. And that’s frustrating.”
Yeah, we love slumber parties too!
“In college I once woke up in someone else’s dorm room, wearing someone else’s clothing, with no recollection of anything that had happened the night before. I had completely blacked out. Tequila and I just don’t mix.”
Off target:
“I once kissed a man who thought my nose was part of the whole kissing process. Like one of those masks you put on for surgery—that entire geography from my nose to the bottom of my chin was the target area for him. I thought, My God, that’s the most disgusting thing in the world!”
