One of the aspects I like about the film is that there is a kind of emotional, psychological discussion during the storytelling, ... Before taking a drug, go through yourself, experience yourself, all your hopes and fears in your own time. Before the pharmacology, do the psychology.

I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie.

We are the sum of who we are. We pick certain things at certain moments that influenced us.

Hallelujah! Amen! Christianity is so inherent in western story-telling, you can't really get around it. But it wasn't something that drew me to it more or less.

I guess living without love, without experiencing it or being able to give it is pretty strong punishment.

Life and art had a nice parallel, in the sense of coming together as strangers who are separate in prison who need to work together, getting to know each other.

Art is about trying to find the good in people, and making the world a more compassionate place.
