The way I go about a lovemaking scene is that we will talk about it during the rehearsing time.

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

My cultural roots are something illusive.

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

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

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

I see a movie as a way of learning about the world, about myself, and learning about my relationship with people and art.
