I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.
Wong Kar-waiI'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?'
Wong Kar-waiMost of my films deal with people who are stuck in certain routines and habits that don't make them happy. They want to change, but they need something to push them. I think it's mostly love that causes them to break their routines and move on.
Wong Kar-waiI never had a problem with genre because a genre actually is like a uniform - you put yourself into a certain uniform.
