So I’m a one movie at a time person, I don’t develop. Normally we do a movie then one thing leads to another. If something pops up that catches my attention, then I’ll decide.
Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It’s working with people. It’s a lot more fun.
In my culture, there’s a tradition that when you’re in an overwhelming situation and you don’t know what to do, you put yourself in a woman’s shoes.
I don’t like to deal with studios.
I don’t think the Hulk is a superhero. He’s the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.
I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.
I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.
Kids don’t even read comic books anymore. They’ve got more important things to do – like video games.
When I see something I like, that’s all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
The woman’s perspective is like the dark side of the moon: it always exists, but it is never exposed, at least not in my culture.
I’m aware of what’s missing from my life.
It’s just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn’t want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don’t really develop projects.
Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
Everyone in the gay community doesn’t think alike.
I feel that everyone has a Hulk inside, and each of our Hulks is both scary and, potentially, pleasurable. That’s the scariest thing about them.
I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, ‘Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?’
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write.
