'Crouching Tiger,' of course, was a very dramatic role for me, and the fighting was very serious.

'The Tiger And The Snow' is a beautiful movie. I am in love with this idea.

'Gone-Away World' was a shotgun blast, an explosion out of the box I'd put myself into writing film scripts. 'Tigerman' is shorter, tighter, more crafted.

I thought 'Fight Club' was great as David Fincher's version.

I've never seen a film get away completely unscathed like I have 'Animal Kingdom.' There's not a single bad review that I've read of it yet; all through Sundance, all it got was high praise.

My mother is an immigrant from China, and she filled my head with stories about ghosts and fighting monks in China, so the world of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' was a very familiar one.

'The Descent,' 'Dog Soldiers,' those films, I've loved for years, and the tones of those.

'Animal Kingdom' feels like a suburban Melbourne version of 'The Godfather 'to me. It's epic and Shakespearean in its story, and yet you still feel like you can reach out and touch it.
