Many Times When You Make A Movie,

I'm Not A Romantic. In Life I Didn't Have Much Experience With Romance.

Basically The Movies I Make Are My Life, So I Choose How I Want To Live My Life For The Next Two Years. So That's A Decision I Have To Make. At Some Point If I Feel There Are Enough Elements - It Doesn't Even Have To Have Great Characters Or Great Stories - It's Just Elements That Can Get My Excitement And Curiosity For One Or Two Years, Then I'll Jump In And I'll Find Out What That Is. Then I Have To Do [interviews Like This] And Rationalize Why I Do This.

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.

For A Filmmaker, It's A Rare Chance To Do A Personal Film On A Big Canvas.

I Think Each Movie-making Process Is A Very Exhausting And Satisfying And Fulfilling Experience For Me.
