Los Angeles, Nov 19 (NationPress) Actress Lucy Liu, famous for her roles in “Charlie's Angels,” “Lucky Number Slevin,” and “Watching the Detectives,” continues to nurture a strong belief in the magic of filmmaking. She has openly shared that her passion for the industry has kept her from straying away.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she expressed, “It’s better to come from a place of excitement. And honestly, gratitude — just because there’s so much broken in the system, it doesn’t have to change your belief in the magic of filmmaking. To me, it was a form of escape and a form of understanding.”

Reflecting on her early days, she noted, “That momentum that I had as a 19- or 20-year-old when I started, not knowing everything else was a beautiful thing. That’s the combustion of a starting out; the accelerator is really the beauty of it. You don’t want it to be tainted too soon.”

Liu starred alongside Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in the original Charlie's Angels film released in 2000. While her co-stars have explored various interests over the years, Liu has remained steadfast in her commitment to the film industry, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.

She asserted, “I’ll never lose that magic. I never retired. I never strayed from this business because I love it so much.” She added, “People talk about how others go in a different direction, and that’s perfectly fine. I don’t judge anyone for that.”

Liu continued, “Cameron took a break, and her ability to light up a room is unmatched. Drew has chosen a new path to connect with people, and now she hosts a hugely successful talk show. But I’ve remained on this path; it’s the one I’ve chosen.”

Moreover, the talented actress shared that Helen Mirren provided her with the best advice she has ever received.

She praised the Oscar-winning actress, calling her a “wonderful, magical person.” When asked about the most impactful advice, Liu recounted, “Stay exactly who you are, fired up and ready to go.” This wisdom came from her exchanges with Mirren.
