When I grew up, in Taiwan, the Korean War was seen as a good war, where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was, of course, the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that.

A lot of people in the media, and some everyday people, really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money, yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win, because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.

All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.

I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.
