I don't believe Chinese movies should only have Chinese cast and talents shooting it with a Chinese story.

I'm a classic movie person. I love action movies, too, but when I grew up I didn't have much action movies.

You don't have to do a lot of quantity. It's the quality that counts.

I'm keen on making English language movies. English is still the global language and we can't change that.

If you don't have a deal, you wind up losing money.

If you watch a Chinese movie with subtitles, it's just like watching an Arabic movie with Chinese subtitles. That explains why you can't take Chinese language movies and expect them to go abroad.

The moment you have subtitles and you have to speak Chinese, you already limit your global audience.

I am financing global pictures with global talents. Of course I will bring in the Chinese elements, yet you have to have global talents to create a global picture.

Hollywood is a symbol of global movies, it's not just American movies. It's become a platform and a melting pot; it's for all the talents and capital from all over the globe.

I always follow the rules. No fake co-productions. I know how to make content agreeable and acceptable.

I personally think that Hollywood agencies ought to play a much better role in the development of Chinese films. Otherwise they're missing out on a lot of opportunities.

Liam recoiled as if I'd hoofed him in the danglies.

It is necessary to meditate early, and often, on the art of dying to succeed later in doing it properly just once.

Perhaps I had inadvertently brushed up against the Buddhist axiom, that enlightenment is the ultimate disappointment.

All the mighty interceding of the ages that has ever shaken the kingdom of darkness has been based upon the promises of God.

I'm the devil's advocate. We have our own worshipers.

Few artists can afford artistic temperament.

In snowbound, voiceless, mountain depths, to herald spring, pine trees sound in tune.

Most writers like to maintain some sort of anonymity. For me, making videos was an assault.
