I'm older and older. With any experience you have, you know more about yourself.

I am waiting for the right story to tell. Just like 'Man of Tai Chi' just seemed to be the right story to tell. So I'm looking for that. Because I really love directing. I love developing the story. I love actors. I love the cinema of it, the way that you tell a story visually.

I just felt that if I went into Speed 2, I just... wouldn't have come up out of the water.

It's hard to act in the morning. The muse isn't even awake.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

Eventually, it came to this place like, "I'd like to direct, but I need to find the story to tell." Man of Tai Chi became the story to tell.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.
