I always thought I was different from Po-Wing. Turns out lonely people are all the same.

Chungking Express (1994) dir. Wong Kar-wai

Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn’t expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up.

On the decision to make both Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro’s characters policemen

“In the 90s the way to get financing in Hong Kong, in most instances, [is by] first presenting the pictures. In most cases you won’t have a script yet, but you’ll have a cast, and you’ll have to tell the distributors what is the premise of the film. For Chunking Express, it’s very hard to explain to them, ‘This is a story about Hong Kong,’ or ‘This is a film about music,’ etc etc. Forget it, they won’t take it or be interested. So you have explain to them that, ‘This is a story about a very dangerous woman in Tsim Tsa Tsui, and detectives are trying to get near her!’ They’ll then jump to say, “Ah, this is a cop story!” So they will take it. That’s why they’re cops.”

how hurt have you been lately?

Insanely so. It's hard to conceive that someone whom you've placed so much trust in after months of trying hard to protect yourself could actually easily betray you.
