Fighting For Identity Is Something That Is

I Like To Go Back To Chinese Film-making From Time To Time. I Don't Think I Can Make Chinese Films Back To Back; It's Such A Big Effort. I'd Have To Take A Very Long Break.

Thinking Back To Those Earlier Days, I Felt I Was Weak When I Wasn't Making Movies, And Then When I Was, I Thought I Was Weak As A Family Member.

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.

Things That Don't Have A Big Impact Seem To Be Crucial. Always When You Go Out To Make A Movie You Have Questions, "what If This Doesn't Work? What If That Doesn't Work?" You Want To Cover Yourself, You Want To Bring Back Enough [footage] So You Can Do Something.

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.
