Sensitivity And Money Are Like Parallel Lines.

Making A Martial Arts Film In English To Me Is The Same As John Wayne Speaking Chinese In A Western.

I Think People Are Universal.

When I Started Out, Nobody Gave Me Scripts, So I Had To Write...

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.

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.
