For my own films, I would like to see 'Bullet in the Head' remastered. The original cut was actually almost three hours.

It's pretty easy to make a film in China. A few years ago I just walked into the office and let them know I wanted to make a movie called 'Red Cliff' and they were so excited. They said, 'Let's do it!' It's that simple.

My films are always concerned with family, friendship, honor, and patriotism.

'Hard Boiled' is my last film in Hong Kong, before I moved to the U.S. It is the one film which is most accepted by the audience in the West.

There is absolutely no Wuxia or martial arts in 'Red Cliff.' I want all the action to look realistic.

I'm not a master; I'm just a hard-working filmmaker. I would like everyone to see me as a friend rather than a master.
