I think one day I can make a book about coffee shops in Hong Kong. I spent almost most of my time in coffee shops, in different coffee shops.
Wong Kar-waiPeople are very surprised when they come to Hong Kong after seeing my films, because my version of it is quite different than Hong Kong in reality.
Wong Kar-waiI never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.
Wong Kar-waiI never had a problem with genre because a genre actually is like a uniform - you put yourself into a certain uniform. But if you dress up in a police officer's uniform, it doesn't mean that you are an officer; it can mean something else. But this is the starting point, and the best way is to not to fit into this uniform but to make this uniform a part of yourself.
