I like to go back to Chinese film-making from time to time. I don't think I can make Chinese films back to back it's such a big effort. I'd have to take a very long break.

The most mysterious feminine factor, the existence that we men, we don't know. It's woman. It's feminine. That's what the sword is about. That's the symbolic meaning of the sword.

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.

There's a certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that he's not reading. And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.

So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private.

I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.

I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

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.
