I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.

I'm not coming from film school. I learned cinema in the cinema watching films, so you always have a curiosity. I say, 'Well, what if I make a film in this genre? What if I make this film like this?'

I think the martial arts tradition has a big influence on our generation - we all read these novels when we were very young.

What makes international cinema so interesting is that each territory has its own sensibility. When you look at an Indian or French film, there's a certain flavor. And even though the language is different, if the film is successful, it has something very common and understandable.

I'm not afraid to delay the schedule to make sure that this is the film that I want, that this is the best that I can do at that point.

Some actors like encouragement. Some actors prefer to have pressure. And sometimes, for some actors, its better to give your comment by silence, because they are so skillful, so gifted, that they understand without talking too much.
