I Look At American Movies, The Big

It's Just What I Am. When I Am In The Zone Making One Movie, I Just Didn't Want To Read Anything Else Or Do Anything Else, So I Don't Really Develop Projects.

I Grew Up Pretty Much Prevented From Knowing Anything From Communist China Except That They Were The Bad Guys That Stole Our Country.

On A Chinese Film You Just Give Orders, No One Questions You. Here, You Have To Convince People, You Have To Tell Them Why You Want To Do It A Certain Way, And They Argue With You. Democracy.

Mostly It's Like, I Get Inspired By Something And I Want To Learn That Part Of Filmmaking, I Want To Delve Into That Kind Of Depth. And Leading, Also, A Lot Of People. A Lot Of People, For Two Years Of Their Life They Follow Me, And They Believe What I Believe In. So That's Some Responsibility And I'd Like To Make It Worth The Effort.

Over The Years Woodstock Got Glorified And Romanticised And Became The Event That Symbolised Utopia. It's The Last Page Of Our Collective Memory Of The Age Of Innocence. Then Things Turned Ugly And Would Never Be The Same Again.
