“I am not interested in making fanciful romantic movies at all. I have always wanted to take the realism approach. But in Hong Kong, that is so hard to do. If you make a movie about the mob, you may offend the real mob. If you object to the lenient sentences for juvenile delinquents, you may be condemned as ‘agitator’. And if you include provocative dialogues, you may be mistaken as being political.”

Robert Hossein

“I have always had a taste for things larger-than-life and I wanted to proclaim my faith in this world and my faith in man. And I wanted to do it through the words of Christ, for he remains the conscience of humanity.”
