Tony Chiu-Wai Leung's quotes

• I like not knowing from one day to the next. It keeps me from thinking and allows me to just be in my character. Too much information restricts your creativity. [on working with Wong Kar-wai who doesn't use scripts.]
• "Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me." (On acting.)
• "Kar-wai is very demanding, and we never have a real script. [But he] challenges me. He is always pushing me to go deeper, to become that person. I like it." (on Wong Kar Wai, while working on 2046)
• 'She looks for happiness, and will do whatever makes her happy. I'm very pessimistic. Sometimes, out of the blue, she will want to do all sorts of things. I can't deal with that, I have to plan everything properly first.' (On co-star, Maggie Cheung.
• "Absolutely. I found myself buried in the character. I need some time to tune myself out." (On whether the character Chow Mo Wan has entered his life)
• "I wanted to take a different approach. I wanted this character to be very optimistic, always with a smile on his face, but I just wasn't able to put it into the scenes. I don't know why." (On his character Chan Wing Yan in Infernal Affairs)
• As an Asian actor, I would like once in my life to do just one Hollywood movie. It would be a memorable experience.
• John Woo is very prepared. He respects his actors very much...he gives you a lot of freedom to create your character. So I improvise a lot.
