There is an interview with Li included in the German publication Schwäbische Zeitung. I translated Li's remarks; the other text is my own recap of the other contents:
Question: "Do you already feel at home in Hollywood?"
Answer: "No, not that much, but I feel good". She notes that producers have noticed that she doesn't accept offers for roles as the typical exotic Chinese girl. "I am taken seriously as an actress. That is a good feeling."
Q: She is asked if she will continue to live primarily in China.
A: "Naturally. And I will continue working in Chinese cinema. That is my homeland, I belong there. But don't think that I lead the life of a diva." She gives an example of shopping in a supermarket and trying to blend in with others. She comments that there are people who deliberately try to be noticed. "I do not like that at all."
Q: She is asked if she feels like she is an artistic ambassador for China.
A: She says, "Oh, no", and remarks that she doesn't think that highly of herself. "I am an actress, no more and no less. I want to be a good one, and I would like to be successful." She says that it is meaningful for her to support in particular young writers and directors at home. "If I can work at home, if I can help particular film projects… I am then only one of many." She also says, "A 'star' sounds crazy. It is only the work of everyone around the star that makes it shine. One should not overrate oneself; otherwise, the light goes out very fast."
********************************
She certainly is modest, isn't she? "I am an actress, no more and no less." She's much more than that, imo. I love her last remark; she certainly seems to be very 'grounded'.
