Thursday May 3, 2007 Hong Kong Cheung enjoys acting, not hours on set HONG KONG - The hurry-up-and-wait aspect of making movies is a big turnoff for Maggie Cheung. "I don't take on that many movies these days because I don't miss the set. I enjoy the moment when I'm acting, how to immerse in character, figuring out how to portray something with my colleagues ... but sometimes waiting on the set for six hours is very common," the actress said Thursday. "Sometimes I think, `Six hours! How much I could have done. How many friends I could have seen. How many movies I could have watched.'" Cheung, who won the best actress award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for her performance in "Clean," said she's in talks about several movie projects but hasn't committed to anything. "Clean" and another 2004 movie, Wong Kar-wai's "2046," are the last movies she appeared in. She said she wants to stay away from heavy roles, adding she enjoys the break from tragic characters. "Because I haven't made any movies recently, I don't have to think, `I need to cry in this scene. I need to be emotionally immersed.' credits: asianfanatics.
She looks gorgeous. She gets better with age. I like her better like this than when she first started acting.
