I Like To Go Back To Chinese

My Father's Family Were Liquidated During The Cultural Revolution In China Because They Were Landowners. He Was The Only One To Escape. I Was Born And Brought Up In Taiwan. But You Absorb The Trauma. My Parents Had No Sense Of Security.

When You Go For Something Because You're Curious About It, You Get Psyched Up About The Chance Of Getting Into It. It's Like An Actor Meets A Role, And You Slip Into That Body And See What Happens, To Experience Certain Conditions, To Adopt A Certain Character. Even Shooting Is A Study Of The Character. I Think Both The Character And The Actor, And Eventually The Filmmaker - Myself - Are Finding A Way To Accept Their Environment And Being Accepted And Feel Comfortable Of Themselves.

There's Only One Movie In My Career I've Had Regrets With Cutting It Shorter, And I Think Some Scenes Maybe I Shouldn't Have Cut.

If There's Something That Can Be Formulated, Regulated, Give You Security, Then Nobody Would Lose Money. Every Movie Would Be Successful. And That's Certainly Not The Case.

I Feel That Everyone Has A Hulk Inside, And Each Of Our Hulks Is Both Scary And, Potentially, Pleasurable. That's The Scariest Thing About Them.
