It's just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn't want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don't really develop projects.

I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.

When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.
