After Chen Zhen, I wanted to make an emotional, touching story.

I want to put elements from movies into TV to raise the quality of TV.

Audiences in mainland China know how to discuss movies.

I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.

In Hong Kong, the directors are the idea men.

I don't care about the critics.

Jesus Christ is the Son of Man.

A man can learn a lot if he listens, and if I didn't learn anything else I was learning how much I didn't know.

In order for us, black and white, to disenthrall ourselves from the harshest slavemaster, racism, we must disinter our buried history.... We are all the Pilgrim, setting out on this journey.
