My Mother Loves Me And

I Think The American West Really Attracts Me Because It's Romantic. The Desert, The Empty Space, The Drama.

When I Grew Up, In Taiwan, The Korean War Was Seen As A Good War, Where America Protected Asia. It Was Sort Of An Extension Of World War Ii. And It Was, Of Course, The Peak Of The Cold War. People In Taiwan Were Generally Proamerican. The Korean War Made Japan. And Then The Vietnam War Made Taiwan. There Is Some Truth To That.

My Father's Family Were Liquidated During The Cultural Revolution In China Because They Were Landowners. He Was The Only One To Escape. I Was Born And Brought Up In Taiwan. But You Absorb The Trauma. My Parents Had No Sense Of Security.

I Wanted To Shoot Straight, Mainstream, Somehow Off-beat. Not Only Realistic West, Which Is Quite Unfamiliar To The World's Population - Even To A Lot Of Americans.

I Like To Think I'm Un-categorisable.
