My Hometown Was One Of The Major

The L.a. Weather Is A Lot Like Taiwan's, Where You Don't Observe Four Seasons, So The Years Can Pass And You Don't Feel A Thing.

I Basically Made The Movie From The Crew's Suggestions. For One Scene, I Wanted Some Kids' Toys Against The Wall In Mikey's Room, To Give The Scene Texture, And We Tried A Field Hockey Stick. It Looked Really Good To Me, Until Someone Had To Say That In America, Field Hockey Is More Of A Girl's Game. Gradually I Got Tuned Into The World - That Happens On Every Movie.

Sometimes, You Have To Get Angry To Get Things Done.

I Think A Lot Of People Do Big Movies Not Because They Are Talented Artists But Because They Can Function In The Circumstances.

Beautifully-acted And Precisely Observed, Ilo Ilo Is An Amazing Debut, Full Of Heart And Intelligence.
