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

If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.

Every movie is unknown.

I try to be a partygoer. But at some point I don't know why I'm doing it and fall back. I've been using repression, the struggle between behaving as a social animal. You're seeking to be honest with your free will, less conflict. I think that's an important subject with me. That's who I am, how I was brought up. I think I use that a lot. I mistrust everything I think. Things you think you can trust, believe in, or hang on to, changes. That's the essence of life.

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

I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
