Quotes:
  • I would love to do more Hollywood movies, not because it's Hollywood, but because there are all these great producers and talented people out there to work with.
  • To me, success is when you are able to do what you are happy doing, and at the same time, can bring that happiness to other people.
  • I like to try something new, every time, for every project. I don't like to be in this very safe environment, I like to take risks. It's more interesting that way!
  • I don't mind [what people may say]. I don't avoid it. I just tell myself I have to cope with it. As I go along, I build up an immune system. I do hope I have a mentor, but you still have to go through many things by yourself. The only person who can help you is yourself.

  • Fann was the first Singaporean to be invited as a presenter to Taiwan's prestigious Golden Horse Awards in 2001.
  • Fann performed her first major death-defying stunt in a public performance in Bugis Junction, Singapore, for a live charity program in aid of needy kidney patients in April 2003. She had to walk on a tightrope and perform stunts in mid- air together with two other male artistes.

She was calm and collected throughout, but was so overcome with emotion that she broke down in tears after completing the stunt.
