There's no common taste in this world.

To make a kung fu film is like a dream come true, because I'm a big fan of kung fu movies and I'm learning kung fu for a long time.

If you can keep going and never give up, ultimately you will get something that you really want.

I don't hate being an actor. But if there's a choice, I prefer to direct.

If first of all you have a wrong idea, then it's kind of wasting time. No matter how hard that you try with a wrong idea, it makes it difficult to be successful.

I was very poor. As a child my dream was to have a leather football.

I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something

We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way.

I've always said I can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until I see them nominated for a Grammy. I think country gets dumped on across the board by the Grammys.
