I think all the filmmakers in Hong Kong are influenced by John Woo.

There are many kinds of movies in Hong Kong. Some are commercial and others are more artistic.

Hmm, can I be obvious and say there is probably a double standard for male vs. female directors? Sadly, I think that's actually the case. And it probably stems from the fact that there are proportionately so many fewer women directors than men ones that each project is perhaps more closely scrutinized for its content.

Male directors always project their own desire of women - how they want a woman to dress, to do her hair. With a woman director, it's more a projection of herself.

I've worked with a couple of female directors now, and I think that they're amazing. As good or better than guy directors.

I hope Hong Kong and Asia wants to hire American Asian actresses as much as Hollywood has been hiring Chinese actors from Asia.

Yeah, I've worked with a couple of female directors, now, and I think that they're amazing. As good or better than guy directors.

I don't understand why there aren't more powerful female directors. I don't have the answers, but I hope that things may start to shift and that studios will employ more women to handle strong and interesting material.

A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.

I am a director. I'm the one who can order men around.
