When I was a kid I feel lonely, I have not many friends. If you make a movie, then you can work with different kinds of people and make different kinds of friend. That's very important to me.

The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.

I have found my heaven in musicals. When I watch a musical, it makes me believe life is still beautiful.

There is absolutely no Wuxia or martial arts in 'Red Cliff.' I want all the action to look realistic.

Divorce is fairly common these days, and I think many times people disregard the emotional impact that divorce has on a couple and a family, because it happens so frequently.

I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.

Home wasn't so much a house as people, family.

Right now I just want to chill for a while. Take a hiatus from all the craziness. To clean my house, see my family. Just see some movies and pick some strawberries.
