dealing political push specific trying
I didn't have a specific message. I wasn't trying to push any political issues. We are dealing here with love.
push towards trying
In rehearsal, I was trying to push him towards Jake.
son trying diapers
When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I've got $26 left.
thinking interesting trying
So it's something I'm still learning, it's fresh, so if the budget allows I'll do it again and just see how far it goes because it's the frontier, it's more interesting. It's still expensive, the projection system can be annoying sometimes, it's not really regulated or perfected yet, so it's still expensive. If I do a lower budget I'll just do 2D, but if the budget allows I think I'll try 3D.
movie chinese trying
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.

I remember thinking to myself 'Does he have a lady thing with her?'.
small work
I thought it was a small work of love. I never thought it would play like this.
figure love work
The father figure is something I love, but also suffocate from and want to work against.

Hugging her would have been a little embarrassing.
I'm not macho, I'm not a Mel Gibson sort of person.

I'm actually living my life with the material I choose to work with.

I was very quiet, very shy and docile.

I think life without spirit is in the dark, it is absurd.
