But I think we need the international market.

Now a movie with 30 million returns would be something very incredible and the producer can only get 10 to 15 million. This is only 100 thousands US dollars. This is not enough!

Wuxia is a fantasy world exists in everyone's mind.

HERO is a combination of my personal feeling and the commercialism.

I am a fan of wuxia.

I hope before I am getting too old and when my mind is still functioning, I can tell some better stories.

I'm not Ang Lee who knows so much about western market and the taste of western audiences.

Time has changed and now is the age of spending.

Only people have been through that miserable time will recall the pass from their deep memory.

I must stick with Chinese language films.

To survive is to win.

To do art, one thing should always remember - subjects of people in misery have deep meanings.

But I think we need the international market.

People in misery is what most important in art.

Piracy has destroyed the domestic market.

For over ten years I always had, but I don't speak English.

The so-called commercialism includes elements like story, plots, rhythms and large big scenes.

You must know what you are capable of.

People have become shallower. They view spending, entertaining, seeking leisure and enjoying as the main objectives of their life.

Ang Lee was educated in the West and his English is good.

This is my first wuxia movie and I must consider this before trying to make something with my own.

My mum was a nurse, and her passion was geriatric care. I used to love listening to the old people's stories in her nursing home and picturing myself in their place. They'd say, 'I went to school in a horse and cart,' and I'd just think 'Wow!' I'd picture myself in their place - acting was a natural progression.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people.

I want every Filipino woman empowered with information regarding all options available to her regarding family planning.

As a kid, I dreamed of being a pop star, a glamorous woman and traveling the world. And I've done that all my life.

Caste is the status of a human community in the society not the identity of any person in the society

I like to give and get basically anything (I love to read) but especially fiction and poetry.

School integration did not come to be the day after the Brown ruling was issued. Progress took years, and it took passion, strength, and courage from a large group of committed individuals.

Satire can always be found everywhere. A people without love for satire is a dead people.

I'm bound to fail when I write in Italian, but unlike my sense of failure in the past, this doesn't torment or grieve me.

Change is always preceded by a little pain. Some people can change and they don't have to go through so many painful things. But I think that I'm of a personality that I'm a little stubborn, so it's tough for me.

I go for cosmopolitan cities, and I like to be in the middle of everything.

But I think Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang really got that thing where, if a movie reads really funny and then has some dramatic or violent or sinister stuff in it, you can't forget that primarily it has to be even funnier than you read it or that other stuff doesn't work.

If we talk about literacy, we have to talk about how to enhance our children's mastery over the tools needed to live intelligent, creative, and involved lives.

I'm fortunate to have success, but it was a long and challenging road, so I try to make that not be the case for other women.

No one in my school liked me.

I really prayed and asked God for my first film.

We have fluctuations all the time, business cycles, and they come about in various ways, but normally what sets them off is some reduction in the willingness of our population, our businesses, and foreigners to buy.

When I first heard Wallace Stevens' voice, it was by chance: a friend wanted to listen to the recording he had made for the Harvard Vocarium Series.

So right off, I'm going to have to say that a lot of people have been comparing Life Is Killing Me to World Coming Down, and I think a lot of those people equate art and sales figures, and I don't do that.

I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.

My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.

When all are wrong, everyone is right.

If I'm going through life broke, I might as well live in the company of cheerful idiots like actors.
