I Like To Think I'm Un-categorisable.

Mostly It's Like, I Get Inspired By Something And I Want To Learn That Part Of Filmmaking, I Want To Delve Into That Kind Of Depth. And Leading, Also, A Lot Of People. A Lot Of People, For Two Years Of Their Life They Follow Me, And They Believe What I Believe In. So That's Some Responsibility And I'd Like To Make It Worth The Effort.

Depending On The Budget [whether To Use 3d On Future Movies]. I Think I Prefer 3d To 2d Now. Also, Because Of 3d I Have To Use A Digital Camera, Which Is The Way It's Going Anyway. That Still Confuses Me, A Digital Camera Versus Film.

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.

After Making Several Tragic Movies In A Row, I Was Looking To Do A Comedy, And One Without Cynicism.

Meanwhile, The Ice Storm Was Still In Development, And That Was Something I Really Wanted To Do, And Frankly I Don't Think I Was Ready To Do A Big Production Like This.
