Look out that window and you see a lot of people, including a lot of young ladies, ... That's the future of our film.

They want us on 2,000 screens right away.

Once people saw the film, they understood that it was a film about a kind of epic greatness that can exist in anyone, anywhere, no matter who they are, no matter what their sexual orientation or class or historical circumstances.

In terms of American culture, I think Ang has an enormous empathy for everything we are,

If I don't feel like doing it, I will go with someone else. I'm reading material and there are some people I'd like to work with. I will see what they prepare and what I'm passionate about.
