When I See Something I Like, That's

I'm A Drifter And An Outsider. There's Not One Single Environment I Can Totally Belong To.

3d Is Quite A Lot More Advanced In Animated Movies; For Live-action Movies We're Just Taking Baby Steps, We're Just In The Beginning.

It's Just What I Am. When I Am In The Zone Making One Movie, I Just Didn't Want To Read Anything Else Or Do Anything Else, So I Don't Really Develop Projects.

I Guess In Hollywood You Chart Your Life By Oscars. You Say To Each Other, "remember When That Movie Won That Year? It Was 2006. Remember That?"

Making This Movie As A Period Piece About A Period That Was Very Recent In People's Minds. I Was In Taiwan [during The 1970s], So I Hope I Did All Right. Otherwise, It Could Be The Biggest Embarrassment Of My Life. Also, The Story Is Not Linear, It's Patchy, Like A Cubist Painting, And There Is Always The Possibility It Will Not Hold Together, It Will Fall Apart. The Tone Is Part Satire, Part Serious Drama, Part Tragedy, All Mixed Together, And It Has To Hit An Emotional Core. That's Also Very Scary.
