I'm Just A Pretty Regular Dad.

American Films Are Less American Every Day, Because You Have To Please A World Audience. There's Less Authenticity, So It's More Accessible.

My Father's Family Were Liquidated During The Cultural Revolution In China Because They Were Landowners. He Was The Only One To Escape. I Was Born And Brought Up In Taiwan. But You Absorb The Trauma. My Parents Had No Sense Of Security.

So There Was One Point I Thought I Was Gonna Lose It, But Once I Get On Something I Have To Finish It; I Just Kept Persuading Them And They Turned Around. One Good Thing Was The International Guys Really Stood Behind This Movie, They Thought They Could Support This Film. So These Guys Step Up And That's Really Good, And Then They Turned Around.

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.

If There's Something That Can Be Formulated, Regulated, Give You Security, Then Nobody Would Lose Money. Every Movie Would Be Successful. And That's Certainly Not The Case.
