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.

When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.

Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.

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

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

I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.

Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
