If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

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

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.
