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

A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.

Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.

I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.

In my culture, there's a tradition that when you're in an overwhelming situation and you don't know what to do, you put yourself in a woman's shoes.

I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.

So it [3D] is something I'm still learning, it's fresh, so if the budget allows I'll do it again and just see how far it goes because it's the frontier, it's more interesting. It's still expensive, the projection system can be annoying sometimes, it's not really regulated or perfected yet, so it's still expensive. If I do a lower budget I'll just do 2D, but if the budget allows I think I'll try 3D.
