Lucy Liu
Where you’ve seen her:
As ball-breaking attorney Ling on
Ally McBeal, kicking butt in the
Charlie's Angels movies, and kicking butt again—only this time with a samurai sword—in
Kill Bill. Keep an eye out for her in
Rise.
Hittin' in:
“I've been asked in interviews to whip people or slap them. I get sick of hearing it! I'm like, 'All right, fine. You want me to slap you, I'll slap you.' And they love it!”
Tequila sunrise:
“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.”
Whipped dream:
“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. 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.”
