Michelle Yeoh is expressing her gratitude.
The Wicked star recently shared that during a low point in her career, she considered leaving acting behind—that is until Quentin Tarantino stepped in.
“I was in Hong Kong and depressed as I had had a bad accident while filming a stunt,” Michelle, 62, explained during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, per People. “I felt hopeless and was re-thinking the whole action thing and thought maybe I should take a step back.”
It was then that the Everything Everywhere All At Once star crossed paths with Quentin, who encouraged her to keep going.
“When I met [Tarantino], he was so enthusiastic,” she added, “and said that if you love something you have to find a better way to do it.”
Michelle also shared that, while she and the Pulp Fiction director have never worked together, Quentin revealed the hilarious why he hadn’t cast the Academy Award winner in one of his biggest films.
“When I asked him about Kill Bill and why he hadn’t thought of me,” Michelle explained, “he said, ‘No one would believe Uma Thurman could kick your ass!’”
