When I look at young kids today I just don't believe it, parents take away the Gameboy and they're suicidal. They cannot take the pressure.

In America there's no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.

China produces 600 movies in a year, of which 3 or 4 go abroad, while of the several hundred they make, we only bring in 50. It's 50 now, but that could be expanded later on.

I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid.

For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.

I know that eventually, I'll have to change my life and my career, but I've got a lot of good years left in me yet.

Fifteen years ago, I really give up American market.
