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.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

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.

In the past I’ve made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can’t really hate them. You can discard them, but you can’t really hate them.

I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.

Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
