I like doves. They look so beautiful, like a woman. For me they represent peace and love and purity. And sometimes they're seen as the messengers of God, so they're important to me because I'm a Christian.
From John Woo
My films are always concerned with family, friendship, honor, and patriotism.
The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.
I have found my heaven in musicals. When I watch a musical, it makes me believe life is still beautiful.
I'm not a master; I'm just a hard-working filmmaker. I would like everyone to see me as a friend rather than a master.
I think I have been stereotyped as an action director in Hollywood, so all I got were the action scripts.
To be honest, I don't have much time to watch any movies.
It's pretty easy to make a film in China. A few years ago I just walked into the office and let them know I wanted to make a movie called 'Red Cliff' and they were so excited. They said, 'Let's do it!' It's that simple.
I also wanted people to know that football actually started in China almost 3000 years ago.
When I was young, I loved movies so much I wanted to make one.
