I'm a hopeless romantic. It's disgusting. It really is. I've seen 'While You Were Sleeping' like twenty times and I still believe in the whole Prince Charming thing.

Other times you can get showy for three minutes and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.

I have a feeling that being in love sometimes means the projection of your desires onto another person. The important thing is that you like the other person respect the other person and want to raise children with the other person.

When you have fans who are hassling you the entire game and you ignore them they respect you because their job is to try and distract you. And if they don't distract you that means you're focused on doing your job. And who knows by the end sometimes you even win them over.
