Don’t read Variety. Don’t listen to gossip. Don’t live in L.A., and write.

Ten years before Matrix, ten years before Crouching Tiger - I wanted to do a Hong Kong action movie.

If you've got craft, you got game. If you got game, you can write your way in and out of anything. Writing is the best gig in the whole business, as far as I'm concerned. It's the only job where you don't have to wait for someone to tell you what to do. You just sit down and make s**t up.
