[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "I didn't appreciate what I had when my body was healthy. I acted like I never needed sleep, or maybe I didn't allow myself to; everything was about the next scene. Then karma caught up to me at the prime of my life— it was only after losing my legs that I started to learn how to take care of this container for my soul."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "I make puppets; I even give them flexible limbs and adjust their joints so they can emote like real actors and actresses, performing exactly as I require. Now, I've given my puppets an even more important job to do—to push my chair around."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "I know many celebrities buy outrageous insurance policies for their bodies, their voices, hands, even their faces. Some people suggested that I insure my head like that, and honestly, I've thought about it."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "When I filmed the autopsy scene in The Mystery, I approached a medical examiner to act as a consultant, but he kept turning me down. He would never have agreed if his young daughter hadn't spoken up for me—thanks to the "Ms. Olivia" puppet I secretly gave her. After the first screening, Yat Yut Weekly called me a psychopath. I wish. A psychopath would have enjoyed the shoot instead of throwing up their guts on the way home."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "It'd be a waste to spend the whole night sleeping. Why not join us for a game of Mahjong? It'll be a learning experience; you can pick up some Chinese from reading the tiles. Don't worry, Ms. Moissan is a great teacher; you'll catch on quickly with her help. I'll see you later then ... Finally, we have enough players!"
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "Back in Hong Kong, when we ran low on inspiration, Teresa would take us to Sam Mun Tsai to see the sunrise. She said the reflection of the fishing boats on the waves was like echoes of the sun ... Come to think of it, I haven't been there for many years."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "Aa Sing! And all you other extra Kelefe! Stop dawdling around and get my wheels moving. I've adjusted a line for today's shooting; we need to get there fast ... What do you mean, LATER? We're going, NOW!"
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "Action! You're in my scene. In fact, the camera was rolling the moment you stepped into my room. You would've known if you'd read the script in advance."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "In a way, you remind me of the big shots I met in Hollywood. Always busy, always asking you to "wait a minute" before running off. Luckily, those big shots tend to fall on the "big" side, so my puppets can always catch up."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "I'll keep making films till the day I can't say "action!" Aha! Perhaps, after that they'll make a film about me—a biography, about the aging director in her twilight years. I hope there will be a few interested in my life. I've said it before, movies can be about anything and anyone, including me."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "Let a bit of rain fall on the scene at just the right time, and those raindrops will fill the space of any spoken words. And of course, if any of my crew catch a cold from standing in the rain, I'll pay their medical bills."
[ 2026-06-09 ] added quote "A small world compressed in a suitcase, the changing daylight and background scenery ... I like this setting. Isn't this very much like a scene from a movie? The moment our two protagonists meet each other for the first time?"
