From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.

I'm a very emotional guy.

Still, as much as I wish Ballistic Kiss could be a better film, the recognition it gained from critics and at festivals speaks for itself.

There's a lot of thinking when you choreograph something. You're not just choreographing some bodies, arms, legs flying around to look cool. It's a lot more complicated and sophisticated. You also have to deal with the connection of the whole film, so when I choreograph, I think of the movement itself, the camera angles, the characters.

For me, shooting, editing, and scoring rely on rhythm.

A lot of Chinese martial arts films were based on Chinese martial arts novels. And these novels created a world of putting history, calligraphy, and martial arts into one.

Better to be called something positive and inspirational than something negative.
