I had to find my way of translating the excitement you get when you're reading comic books to the big screen.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.

In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.

The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
