When she first arrived in the United States she admits to not speaking English very well, so she was inadvertently outed by her unique name.

"My name is pronounced 'bi,' so when I was asked, 'Are you bi?' I said, 'Yes, I am Bai.' And later I found out what that means and I said, 'Sure, I am bi!' Such a thing is not important for me."

Men are intrigued about her open bisexuality, but why is she still single? "Very simply, I do not believe that monogamy is natural. I think one night stands are a most brilliant experience."

She could see herself with a man or woman, or a bisexual man or woman, but don't expect her to be loyal. "I love women, I like their company, they are very soft, but don't try to box me in because and hold me down because I like men. I have great sex with women, but you cannot keep me. There will be betrayal."

She explains her proclivities right up front, she's bi, like her name. "I put it all out on the table up front, I'm playful and sexy. I am a hopeless romantic, but I don't look out for a lifetime commitment or a one-night stand, I just leave myself open to all possibilities."

She's tried a triad relationship with two guys, but unfortunately, they were not bisexual. "We cuddled all three, that was fun, but I was the one they were sharing," she recalls. "A three-way relationship would not work for a really long time, maybe it could if everyone is free with their emotions and are not hung up on being monogamous. Our nature is that we are animals. There is no way one person can satisfy you forever."

Of course, she wouldn't mind being satisfied by Angelina Jolie whom she flirted with on the set of "Sky Captain." "I always wanted us to be lovers because she is so sexy and intelligent, and of course, I am also attracted to Brad Pitt, that would be a great threesome."

What does Bai Ling think of the celebs getting ink for being bi? "I think sexuality should not be controversial. I don't watch TV or read those magazines, so I don't know what Lindsay Lohan or Megan Fox are saying, but everyone has their own journey. In their own way they have the right to say whatever they wish and feel however they wish. I think it is healthy to be open and to be curious about things."

Bai Ling is not yet ready to settle down, but she fantasizes about the ideal conditions for such a prospect.

"A perfect relationship would be with a man or a woman, or three or four, but it would have to be something that makes me heart smile," she giggles. "It doesn't matter man or woman, but I have to feel like every day is like my birthday—that's important for me."
