Personal life
In a
Jane interview, she indicated the possibility that she's
bisexual. She is quoted as saying,
"I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, 'Oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again,' you know? But it's like, how many times do I've to kiss a woman before I'm gay? Everybody wants to label people. Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. I think that if I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares."
With her parents' work ethic, Liu continued, "I'm always
multitasking, doing 10 things at once". She speaks
English,
Chinese,
Italian, She started doing collage mixed media at 16 and then moved to photography and later painting. Lucy Liu had an art show in September and she donated her share of the profits to
UNICEF. She also has another show in 2008 in
Munich and has stated that she'll also donate her share of the profits to UNICEF.
