In My Culture, There's A Tradition That

I Wanted To Shoot Straight, Mainstream, Somehow Off-beat. Not Only Realistic West, Which Is Quite Unfamiliar To The World's Population - Even To A Lot Of Americans.

There's Only One Movie In My Career I've Had Regrets With Cutting It Shorter, And I Think Some Scenes Maybe I Shouldn't Have Cut.

I Think Great Romance Needs Great Obstacles And Textures.

Meanwhile, The Ice Storm Was Still In Development, And That Was Something I Really Wanted To Do, And Frankly I Don't Think I Was Ready To Do A Big Production Like This.

Americans Are Hidden Dragons To Me.
