When I make movies, I don't ever go out there to please anyone other than myself. I never try to make a film for the masses. I just try to tell my story.

I will never censor myself to please anyone.

I'm just trying to tell a good story and make thought-provoking, entertaining films. I just try and draw upon the great culture we have as a people, from music, novels, the streets.

I never saw 'Glitter,' but I liked her work in the other film. Because this character is interracial and struggles with all sorts of issues because of that, I thought she was perfect.

I don't ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.

I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
