I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.

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

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

I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades; it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.

I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.

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.

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