First we pre-visualized it [the flying fish scene in 'Life of Pi'] so the actors could act. It took a long time to get that to come to life and to design those coming out of the screen. We had great fun with that. It takes a long time, a year maybe.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.

Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.

I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.

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

If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.

When I have a full schedule like that, I don't see myself sitting there for a couple of months, doing the research, going through a painful process, it's just not my thing anymore.
