The woman's perspective is like the dark side of the moon: it always exists, but it is never exposed, at least not in my culture.

The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.

I don't have a checklist. Whatever material excites me, they'll call for a certain genre or combination of genres. It'll come naturally and I'll be eager to learn how that thing works. I learn the rules, and I'll probably break some of them.

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.

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