In Taiwan, I'd Be Like Michael Jordan Walking Down The Street.

In My Culture, There's A Tradition That When You're In An Overwhelming Situation And You Don't Know What To Do, You Put Yourself In A Woman's Shoes.

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.

After Making Several Tragic Movies In A Row, I Was Looking To Do A Comedy, And One Without Cynicism.

I'm Not A Master Of Films. I'm Rather A Slave.
