I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.

If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.

Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.

Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.

Depending on the budget [whether to use 3D on future movies]. I think I prefer 3D to 2D now. Also, because of 3D I have to use a digital camera, which is the way it's going anyway. That still confuses me, a digital camera versus film.

I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades; it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
