I Think A Movie Is A Media

So Anything That's Not Absolutely Needed, We Would Cut It [footage] Out, Which Would Make Me Very Insecure; Everything Has To Work, And It's A Water Movie In 3d With A Kid, Animals. So The More I Do That, The More I'm Scared Of "what If It Doesn't Go The Way We Want It?" But We Had To Do That To Meet The Budget, Otherwise We Wouldn't Even Have A Start-date.

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.

Americans Are Hidden Dragons To Me.

I'm Just A Pretty Regular Dad.

A Lot Of People Will Think I Changed The Book: ‘so You’re The Tiger Instead, You’re The Tiger Who Ate The Cook.’ That’d Be Totally Expository, Like In The Book, ‘you’re The Tiger’ And Then It Stops There. That Seems To Have The Magic Touch. I Bring Everything Together. That’s Why He Made Up The Story, The Whole Thing Becomes Internalized. That Might Be The Magic, But All I Did Is Not So Much Interpreted, But Try My Best To Keep Everybody Still Staying In The Movie. And I Was Like, ‘god, It’s So Hard To Do.’ I Make Movies For A Long Time. It Doesn't Get Easier.
