I like shooting movies in Thailand very much because the government is so cooperative there. The police help you to close the roads for shooting.

I really have to say 'thank you' to our fans, because I think it's difficult for European viewers to find and watch Asian movies, and I hope you enjoy our films.

I like Frenchmen very much, because even when they insult you they do it so nicely.

For John Woo, it is quite difficult to make a movie in Hollywood in his own style. Because Hollywood is based on a producer system, it is difficult for a director to express himself using his own style of filmmaking.

standard practice in a police shooting.

I wanted to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have been angry so I said 'I shot the sheriff;' means the same thing though: justice!
