I've seen too many ups and downs in the movie industry.

I want to be in 'Avatar'. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.

If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?

When I'm in meetings until 5am and then have to get up two hours later for filming, sometimes I ask myself 'why?'

One thing we haven't mentioned is something everyone should understand very clearly. Look at the budget that was invested in 'Avatar': who in China has that kind of money to spend on making a movie? So we as Chinese filmmakers should work together to make Chinese movies that can compete as best we can for Chinese audiences, not make lousy movies, but make the best we can for that audience. Concentrate the money, the talent we have on making good movies [for China].

You cannot mix sports with politics.

If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.
