I'm a big John Woo fan.

The way I see it, if you're going to make an action movie, you've got to make one with John Woo.

John Woo is a very nice and kind person; he gives almost no direction at all, trusting me to come up with the character. But when I think of him, I think of explosions!

For John Woo, it is quite difficult to make a movie in Hollywood in his own style. Because Hollywood is based on a producer system, it is difficult for a director to express himself using his own style of filmmaking.

I am very pleased to be working with director Woo.

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

I wanted to make a movie that was kind of a tribute to the way I feel when I watch a John Hughes movie.

With 'Richard,' I was excited to make this film with such an amazing role for an actor. Play a wide range of emotion and really invest myself in the character.

I love all the movies by director John Hughes. I also love John Landis's movies.

No one turns down a film with Woody; it's something everyone wants in their career as an important moment. He's such a comedic genius, without question, so I was thrilled.
