The book says that prior to working with Tony (they collaborated for the first time in 1986's New Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre), Kitty didn't have a good impression because she thought he was like the typical young guys at the time who partied and played and didn't take their jobs seriously. In fact, the bad impression was so deep that the first week of filming, when Tony repeatedly offered to take her home, she refused each time (though she also admitted that part of the reason she refused too was because of Tony's tremendous popularity at the time and she didn't want people to think that she was trying to use him for promotion). It wasn't until a few weeks into their collaboration when Kitty got a chance to really see what kind of a person Tony was that she realized she was wrong about him -- he was actually a kind-hearted, compassionate person who was easy to get along with and was always willing to share his acting experience. She said that during filming, she noticed that Tony seemed constantly unhappy whenever the cameras stopped rolling, so her attitude softened and she finally decided to accept a ride from him...they would ride together every day and chit chat and that's how she got to know him and eventually fell in love with him.<br /><br />In terms of whether Tony said anything about Kitty in the book, the answer is no, which is kind of interesting because when the book talked about Margie and Carina, there were quotes from Tony about both of them....in the segment about his relationship with Kitty though, all the 'quotes' were from Kitty and not Tony...llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-88794156931545484992016-05-13T23:28:14.700-07:002016-05-13T23:28:14.700-07:00@TC: Thanks!

Definitely appreciate the compliments! :-)<br /><br />Those 3 are great choices for sure, though I'll admit that I was a little surprised with the Josephine Hsiao pick, since most people I've talked to in forums and such in recent years have no clue who she is and I've had to explain each time, so didn't think anyone would choose her. Happy to see her on your guys' list though, as she is one of the female artists I respect the most in the HK entertainment industry and her story is definitely very inspiring!llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-1563207831006391612016-05-13T23:13:42.485-07:002016-05-13T23:13:42.485-07:00@Anonymous: Hi there!

I actually saw the question you had posted on the Tony Leung post -- sorry, didn't get a chance yet to go pull the book and look it up (since it's been a few years since I last read it). I vaguely recall that it had something to do with Tony's shy personality, but don't remember for sure....once I get a chance to look it up I'll let you know.llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-86377238310479332762016-05-13T22:11:38.303-07:002016-05-13T22:11:38.303-07:00Josephine Hsiao, Stephen Chow and Alan Tam would b...Josephine Hsiao, Stephen Chow and Alan Tam would be an interesting read.

The only thing is that the books came out several years ago (first one came out in 2008 I believe) so not sure if all 3 books will still be in stock or even in print for that matter. Regardless, probably doesn’t hurt to try. Good luck! :-)llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-3048545937179313602016-05-10T03:53:25.594-07:002016-05-10T03:53:25.594-07:00Ehm where can I get these books (online store, etc...Ehm where can I get these books (online store, etc) ? <br /><br />And thank you for the translations.
