Cantopop Singer Fiona Sit
After a one-year stint in Taiwan, top Cantopop starlet Fiona Sit is back in town and starring in the new drama “Last Smile, First Tear.” She opens up about success, love, her lesbian friends, and how not to get the attention of someone you admire.
I have problems communicating with people because I don’t have siblings. Single children always have weird communication skills because we had no one to fight with at home.
I’m bad at chit-chat. I find it odd to ask things like, “have you eaten yet?” and, “what have you been up to?” when I’m not interested at all. But now that I’ve been in show business for several years, my conversation skills have improved.
I might seem rude at first. But I really don’t understand how people can talk like they’ve known each other for years when they’re barely acquaintances.
I dislike conformity. Even in high school, when all other girls rolled up their dresses to make them shorter, mine were always longer than everyone else’s. I don’t give in to peer pressure.
I’m very shy. I like to live in my own world. I joined the choir in high school, but I was too afraid to become a soloist because they test you in front of the whole class. I tried once, but I couldn’t make a sound.
My personality isn’t really suited to show business—I really care about my privacy, but it’s been invaded so much. I’m only partly happy with my current career.
