- Yes, I admit it. Back when we were filming and Shan Cai started flip-flopping, I went to Director Tsai and said, “Shan Cai is the worst! I can't stand her — how am I supposed to play this?” The director spent forever trying to talk me down: “She's young, she doesn't understand love yet… she's just a regular girl suddenly being chased by two super-hot guys — of course she's confused…” Honestly? Halfway through filming, I really didn't like Shan Cai anymore. But I still did my best to make sure the audience wouldn't hate her too much. Audiences back then were pretty forgiving — and they let Shan Cai off the hook. Who knew the drama would get re-aired decades later and suddenly she's getting called out left and right! I admit it. Shan Cai was kind of a pick-me girl… but I really, really tried to make her likable. That's that. (en)
- My sister has always been my support since we were little. Whenever I faced something I was afraid to do, she'd say: "Dee Hsu, you're such a coward!" That was her way of encouraging me. She was always the first person I'd turn to about anything in my life—because I needed her advice, and I needed her encouragement. When I got pregnant, I called her. Before I could even say anything, she said: "You're pregnant, aren't you?" Then she immediately started thinking about how to keep Mom from freaking out. When I was unemployed and feeling down, trying to pretend I could just be a housewife, she told me: "Dee Hsu, why are you pretending you don't want to be a star?" And she encouraged me to keep hosting. There are still so many things I want to ask her about. I also really want to hug her—the one who always acted so strong but was actually very fragile inside. Shan, I really have to pull myself together now, because Mom misses you so much. I miss you so much too. But I have to take good care of Mom. If I don't, you'd probably say: "Dee Hsu, how old are you and you still don't know how to take care of Mom?" Everyone tells me I need to move on, but I don't want to go anywhere—because you'll always be in my heart. Always, until the day we meet again. (en)
- I love with passion and intensity, but I end things with absolute finality. No matter how painful it is, I face my life and relationships with reason […] I never allow myself to look back or regret. I have to choose what is right, not what is comfortable. (en)
- I don't wish for a very long life, but as long as I'm alive, I want to be beautiful every single day.
No matter what challenges I face, I know I can keep going, because I truly believe the world after death is beautiful. So whenever something happens, I just think, “Well, worst case, I die.“ And that actually makes me happy, because that means I've fulfilled my deepest wish.
I came into this world to live life on fast-forward. In this lifetime, I am meant to experience what others would in eight. Once I have lived it all, I won't need to return in the next. (en)
- When I was a student, even the smallest discomfort made me want to take a day off. Now, even when I'm sick, I worry about falling behind at work. Once you have a sense of responsibility, you stop being willful. Back when I was hosting shows, I didn't like boxed meals. Now, if there's tofu in a bento, I feel completely satisfied. Only after gaining life experience do you learn to be grateful. I used to feel afraid whenever I left home. Now, no matter where I am, I can go with the flow. Once you find courage, you become truly free. I used to think loving someone meant never being apart. Now, I keep him in my heart. (en)
- Audiences actually enjoy provocation. The reason they like us is that sometimes we say things they agree with, and sometimes we say things they don't—but that's what keeps them watching. Everyone has a little angel and a little devil inside, and I think they enjoy seeing both sides of us come out freely. (en)
- “Don't put all the eggs in one basket.” That was what I told my younger sister when we were facing some of the toughest moments in our family and career. Back then, we were inseparable. Later, she went into hosting, and I turned to acting. No matter what, one of us had to make it — to support the family. Now we both have families of our own, and we're both able to support the family. I'm grateful that life gave us the courage to fight a good fight. Don't be afraid to make a choice. (en)
- I have seven aunts, and my dad was the only son. When my grandfather was alive, I was a fearless little girl—he was my rock, and I loved him dearly. After he passed, I realized it was my turn to take care of the family. I was lucky to land a commercial acting job at 14, which allowed me to support myself and my loved ones. That's how I became independent. Now that my father is gone, my mom and the three of us sisters take care of one another. (en)
- My ancestral home is Shandong, but I also love Taiwan. Now that I'm married and living in Beijing, I don't see the need to draw lines. Whether or not the two sides of the strait are unified, I choose to treat both with love. (en)
