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 always think to shoot action scenes is not really about the stunts. It's more about an expression and about imagination.
Wong Kar-waiI 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.
