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.

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

Most 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.

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