I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.

Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.

These days I'm mostly familiar with two parts of L.A.: one is movie culture, and the other is Asian culture. The Westside is work, and the Eastside is Chinese - which means my friends.

If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.

To me, Ennis stands for the conservative side of America. He's the biggest homophobe in the whole movie - culturally and psychologically - but by the time he admits his feelings, it's too late.

I had to find my way of translating the excitement you get when you're reading comic books to the big screen.

Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
