Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.

If it was a choice between making movies and doing nothing, he'd probably still wish me to make movies, So he made me keep going.

My first instinct was to cast as close to the short story as possible, but then I realized that I needed actors who could go for it and that they had to function well as a couple in a love story.

I think the book struck me in a few ways that I thought very interesting to pick it as my first martial arts film. It has a very strong female character and it was very abundant in classic Chinese textures.

When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.

What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.

I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
