"  In Quentin Tarantino&amp;#039;s Kill Bill, Lucy Liu--playing yakuza boss O-Ren Ishii--picks up a sword, jumps on a table, and slices a rival&amp;#039;s head off with one swift stroke. Wait until you see what she can do with a paintbrush. While the thirty-seven-year-old Queens-born actress is best known for breaking balls as a spunky lawyer on Ally McBeal and breaking bones in Charlie&amp;#039;s Angels, she&amp;#039;s also known to f-up an occasional canvas. Of course, acting still pays slightly better. Her latest film is the Sundance standout Lucky Number Slevin, in which she plays a fast-talking coroner who helps Josh Hartnett out of a bind involving two rival gangsters (Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman). Here, a few more numbers, lucky and otherwise, that paint a picture of Liu.   3 Number of gallery shows she&amp;#039;s had. &amp;quot;The first exhibit was all about Hong Kong, then mostly China--collage sorts of things. I had a third show in March 2005 in Nova Scotia. That one was more incorporating paint and drawing into photographs.&amp;quot;  0 Number of boyfriends she currently has. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure something will come up when it&amp;#039;s the right time. When I meet someone and it happens, it&amp;#039;ll be like being struck by lightning. I really like to date intelligent people. It doesn&amp;#039;t mean that they have to have graduated, just that they read. My family doesn&amp;#039;t care if I marry someone Chinese or not.&amp;quot;  57 Number of dollars paid at an online charity auction this year for a pair of slippers donated by Liu that she received in a Sundance swag bag. 8 Size of slippers. 0 Number of shoes worn during this interview. 97 Number of &amp;quot;rotten&amp;quot; reviews--out of 97--on Rotten-tomatoes.com for Liu&amp;#039;s 2002 action flick Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. &amp;quot;When you do the work and engage in the experience, that&amp;#039;s everything. Maybe the movie isn&amp;#039;t Shakespeare, but it&amp;#039;s something that you really enjoyed making, and it&amp;#039;s that experience that you want to relish. It&amp;#039;s not like [in English accent], &amp;#039;Let me make this my award-winning season.&amp;#039; I never even expect that my movies will be released.&amp;quot;  0 Number of her own fan sites she says she&amp;#039;s visited. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t even know I had fan sites. Wow, that&amp;#039;s crazy. I thought that Madonna would be up there, but I didn&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;d be in that category.&amp;quot; 6 Number of languages she speaks. &amp;quot;We only spoke Mandarin growing up. When my older sister went to school, we started learning English. I did one movie in Mandarin, and it&amp;#039;s called 3 Needles. I also speak a little Spanish, I&amp;#039;m taking Italian, and I took a little Japanese and a little French. I&amp;#039;d love to take an intensive French course so I can just become fluent. When you travel as much as I do for press, you can go and understand people. You can communicate, and you don&amp;#039;t feel like a foreigner and out of place. It opens up your world completely.&amp;quot; 3 Number of meals during the day at which she prefers to eat breakfast food. 759 Number of Google results for &amp;quot;Lucy Liu&amp;quot; + &amp;quot;luminous.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
