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

I was always interested - I mean, it's kind of part of your job - I was always interested in the camera.

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

What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists!... [people] burn from within... sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. Except sometimes his teeth. Or the heart. No one speaks about this, but its for real.

I was hopeless at high school - I failed everything but Latin.

The inspiration really comes first from the character and the story. That vision of what the story is, and what the character is, the world that they inhabit and what the story wants to tell. That's really what inspires me.

Multi-culture is the real culture of the world - the pure race doesn’t exist.
