Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

Hong Kong cinema is something you can't duplicate anyway.

The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.

Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
