I never had a problem with genre because a genre actually is like a uniform - you put yourself into a certain uniform.

Im a big fan of martial arts films, novels and radio programs.

I'm not coming from film school, I learned cinema in the cinema watching films.

In a way, this is what the difference is between Hong Kong and Chinese cinema - Chinese cinema was made for their own communities. It was for propaganda. But Hong Kong made films to entertain, and they know how to communicate with international audiences.

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

Love is all a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.

We're all unlucky in love sometimes. When I am, I go jogging. The body loses water when you jog, so you have none left for tears.
