I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
Hong Kong cinema is something you can't duplicate anyway.
If it's a modern-day story dealing with certain ethnic groups, I think I could open up certain scenes for improvisation, while staying within the structure of the script.
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.
I loved the idea of seeing the world through a boy's eyes.
It's interesting that these themes of crime and political corruption are always relevant.
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
